Calif. Dems marshal campaign to block voter ID ballot Prop 39

California Democrats, led by gubernatorial frontrunner Xavier Becerra and Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, have launched a fundraising-backed effort to defeat Prop 39, a statewide voter-ID ballot measure. The campaign faces a fundraising edge for proponents but argues the initiative would restrict voting; opponents include SEIU California, California Teachers Association and Planned Parenthood, with a coordinated effort under 'No on 39 — Block Trump’s Election Rigging' tying the issue to national politics.
