Attorney General Bonta, Secretary of State Dr. Weber say they are suing the city to protect voter rights.
A voter arrives to cast his ballot at the voting center at the Ocean View School District Office in Huntington Beach on Election Day morning, Tuesday, November 3, 2020. “It is violative of California state election law, undermines that process and threatens the constitutionally protected right to vote,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta at a news conference in Los Angeles on Monday, April 15.
“We informed back in the fall, if you put this on the ballot, this is against California law,” Weber said. “None of them ever responded to that.” Bonta said there is no evidence of voter fraud in Huntington Beach. He said the measure was “intentionally brazen and will now be subject to accountability in court” and added that the city has greatly overstated its authority as a charter authority.with 53.4% of voters in favor, with about 61,000 residents voting on the proposal put on the ballot by the City Council majority. The City Council certified the election results at its April 2 meeting.
Measure A also says the city may move to monitor ballot drop box locations within the city and provide more in-person polling locations.
