Sacramento, CA– A legal dispute over the wording of California’s voter ID ballot measure is gaining attention from local lawmakers, with Republican Assemblyman David Tangipa criticizing the ballot language approved by Attorney General Rob Bonta. Tangipa weighed in on the controversy surrounding Proposition 39, accusing Bonta of improperly altering the measure’s title and summary ahead of the November election. The initiative’s original language described Proposition 39 as establishing additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements. Proposition 39 would require voters to present government-issued identification when voting in person. Voters casting ballots by mail would need to provide the last four digits of that identification or request a proposed state-issued voter identification card.
