The state of California announced a lawsuit Monday challenging the legality of a voter-identification measure recently approved by residents of Huntington Beach , saying it conflicts with and is preempted by existing state law."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," Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement.
Bonta and California Secretary of State Shirley Weber contend, however, that cities cannot exact local ordinances that conflict with state law, noting that the integrity of elections and protection of the right to vote "are matters of statewide concern.""This voter ID measure conflicts with state law," Weber said in a statement.
