California Democrats are taking a victory lap, celebrating the fact that their election system has no way of verifying that the people who are casting votes are legitimate, registered voters.
The Supreme Court of California effectively struck down Huntington Beach’s voter ID law, refusing to review a lower court decision that blocked the law. The city argued that it could impose a voter ID requirement for citywide elections, but California Democrats passed a law in 2024 banning localities from requiring voter ID in elections. California law not only does not require you to prove you are who you say you are when you vote, but it actively prevents cities and localities from having that requirement in place at all.
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON STATE VOTER ROLL PURGES
This is all based on the rather racist myth that minorities are not smart enough to acquire a form of identification. Democrats wail that voter ID laws are a racist form of voter suppression, despite the fact that California requires identification to buy a house, buy alcohol, fill out employment forms, open a bank account, and drive a car. California even requires you to provide ID to register to vote in federal elections.
We know that “voter ID is voter suppression” is a myth because we have seen states such as Georgia pass more stringent voter ID requirements and end up with higher voter turnout. Roughly 34 million people in California already have valid forms of ID. California’s population sits at around 39 million.

Still, California Democrats are celebrating. State Attorney General Rob Bonta boasted that no city is “above the law,” and that requiring voters to prove they are who they say they are is “questioning the integrity of our elections.” California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said that she has “a responsibility to ensure that every eligible Californian can exercise their constitutional right to vote,” which means she has to make sure that cities are not able to verify that someone is an eligible Californian. This is, supposedly, “another victory” for “democracy.”
California runs the worst election system in the country, taking weeks to count votes after an election that normal states can finish counting in a matter of hours. It is also the least secure, because the Democrats who run a state that is rife with fraud are convinced that there is no way their precious election system can be questioned in any way.
