An Orange County judge, Nico Dourbetas, has ruled that Huntington Beach can proceed with voter ID requirements for local elections, despite a new California law banning such measures. The ruling dismissed the case brought by California Governor Gavin Newsom against the city. The court found that the city’s charter allows for the voter ID requirement, setting a precedent for other municipalities in California. This decision marks a significant setback for the state's efforts to block voter ID laws and is seen as a massive blow to election fraudsters.
