California judge won’t block Huntington Beach voter ID requirement

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) — A California state court judge on Monday denied efforts to prevent Huntington Beach, a conservative bastion in the left-leaning state, from requiring voters to present a government-issued identification before they cast their ballot. Orange County Superior Court Judge Nico Dourbetas rejected both the bid by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and by Huntington Beach resident Mark Bixby to invalidate the city’s charter amendment that imposed the voter ID requirement because, they argued, it would conflict with state law and burden citizens’ right to vote.
