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.
