An initiative that would beef up ID and proof of citizenship requirements for California voters has submitted enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. The measure will change the California constitution to require ID when casting a ballot and for election officials to verify citizenship of registered voters — and its chief proponent, Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, has launched an “aggressive” campaign to pass the law, according to a press release. “The California Voter ID Initiative is a common-sense and bipartisan way to restore the trust and confidence all voters should have in our election system,” DeMaio said in a statement Friday.
