U.S. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom (Gavin Newsom) in June signed an executive order to distribute mail ballots to all registered voters, by two state Assembly members sued for overstepping their legislative authority. The court ruled Newsom unconstitutional on the 13th, saying that even during the epidemic, the governor does not have the power to amend or change existing election laws.
The Fox News reported that on June 3, Newsom signed an executive order, before the state legislature passed a similar law, to take the lead in invoking the California Emergency Services Act (hereinafter referred to as the emergency law) to distribute mail ballots to registered voters across the state, and was sued by state Assemblymen James Gallagher (James Gallagher) and Kevin Kiley (Kevin Kiley), saying that the amendment is the responsibility of the legislature, and Newsom’s action is quite dangerous.
He said the emergency law does not give the governor the power to change existing laws, even during an epidemic, but rather the power to do so belongs to the legislature.
Newsom’s office countered that the governor has the power to issue orders to protect residents in an emergency and disagreed with the idea of limiting the governor’s emergency powers, while also stressing that the ruling does not affect the outcome of the vote count.
