California Attorney General announced a lawsuit filed by the state on Monday to challenge the legality of a voter-identification measure that was recently approved by Huntington Beach residents.

'The right to freely cast your vote is the foundation of our democracy and Huntington Beach's voter ID policy flies in the face of this principle,' Bonta said in a statement. The measure was narrowly approved by voters in the March primary elections, which amended the city charter to authorize the implementation of a requirement for voters to show identification when casting their in-person ballots.

'In response to a request for comment, Huntington Beach city officials issued a lengthy statement.'The Attorney General's Press Release that the City's Voter ID requirements violate State Law is inconsistent with, in fact in direct conflict with, Senator David Min's new bill attempting to make Huntington Beach's Voter ID illegal. That blatant inconsistency speaks volumes,' the statement said.
