Newsom said the order was intended to protect registered voters from the virus by giving them the option of voting by mail if they considered it too risky to brave potentially crowded polling stations to cast their ballot in the Nov. 3 general election.

The president's response to COVID-19 has been criticized since the first cases began appearing in the United States in late January. Here’s a look at how his response has evolved since then.Calling it a"brazen power grab" and voter-fraud"recipe for disaster," state and national Republican groups filed a federal lawsuit alleging the California governor's executive order to send mail-in ballots to every voter in the state for the November 2020 election is illegal.

"This brazen power grab was not authorized by state law and violates both the Elections Clause and Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Governor's Order is invalid and must be enjoined," reads the lawsuit filed Sunday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of California. On May 8, Newsom signed the executive order that he said was intended to protect registered voters fromby giving them the option of voting by mail if they considered it too risky to brave potentially crowded polling stations to cast their ballot in the Nov. 3 general election.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks to the media after at a voting center for the presidential primaries on Super Tuesday in Sacramento, Calif., March 3, 2020."No Californian should be forced to risk their health in order to exercise their right to vote," Newsom said at the time.

I think voting by mail allows more people to vote. That's what CA. should do all of the time. Trump is very afraid of vote by mail because he would gone for sure.

no it's about power and control it has nothing to do with the virus, He knows democrats will have a hard winning any thing, The virus can not change the voting laws. Not one person agrees with the governor they all hate the man for destroying Ca. Newsom is a liar and fraud

Do the MAGAS Think they’ll win California? They must be taking the same drugs as dear leader!

What is it about mail-in voting that terrifies the Republicans? They put all their efforts into stopping Indian reservations from voting; some counties moved election polling places so far the populace could not reach them by bus. GOP puts broken voting machines in poor areas.

If people can go to Walmart they can go to a voting booth. he just wants to try to stack the deck in his favor

GOP is desperate and knows it. They are a dying political party. But it won't work because the Democrats will win in a landslide victory that is at or more than the 1932 election btwn Hoover & FDR. Trump will be trounced BIGLY. Watch out what Trumpty Dumpty does to 1/20/21.

Regardless if Newsome is Democrat or whatever...Protecting the voter is crucial to our democracy in this pandemic. THINK!NO VACCINE!

Now that sounds unconstitutional!!

They do realize that several states already have vote by mail and have been doing so for a while now?

Then let each legal voter request an absentee ballot if concerned about in person voting Don’t just hand them out willy nilly. And assign each ballot one time use number.

The GOP wants Americans to risk catching a virus in November or voting. Think about that, America. We deserve better. Every state should allow 'any reason' absentee ballots. Let's vote the GOP out up and down the ballot.

Fuck the GOP

I bet that Mail-In Democrat Voters in California are really rolling in their own graves. VoterFraud

Well now their not even hiding it. 🤦‍♂️

Humpty Trumpty knows this he is just afraid he will lose without cheating

Thet know they CANT beat Trump in a fair, walk up Vote! LOL
