In an amazing (to my mind) surrender to sober process, the California legislature has submitted a Ban of voter ID requirements to the state's Governor.
A word about the source article... it seems to be politically charged. However the facts still present themselves within it.
From ZeroHedge: California Bill Banning Voter ID Passes Legislature, Awaits Newsom's Signature
The measure would ban local governments such as Huntington Beach - where the City Council was just given voter approval to impose such a requirement - from requiring voters to prove their identity, and passes jurisdiction for such laws to the state.
From my point of view, a state can, and in many cases should, seek ultimate adjudication power over such things. The voters of the community seem to have made their wishes known... but presumably the legislative assembly won't have it... demanding that no voter IDs are necessary... I can't imagine why "anyone whatsoever" should be allowed to vote in the electoral process... but I suppose that's just a 'me' thing.
