""Their interference, their actions are the threats to the integrity of our election system," Bonta said."
""This order is just as illegal as the first one," Bonta said. "But the president seems to embrace a philosophy of if at first you don't succeed, break the law again.""
""There just is no constitutional power for the president to really get involved in the election process at all," Farber said."
"Trump defended the order, saying, "I think this will help a lot with elections. We'd like to have voter ID, we'd like to have proof of citizenship, and that'll be another subject for another time.""
California, alongside over 20 states, has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's executive order regarding mail-in voting, asserting its unconstitutionality. Attorney General Rob Bonta emphasized that this order threatens election integrity, mirroring previous attempts by Trump to impose proof of citizenship for voting, which faced legal challenges. The new order would create a list of verified voters and restrict ballot distribution. Legal experts argue that the president lacks authority to alter election processes, which are constitutionally managed by the states.
