ACLU Opposes Proposition 39, Which Includes Voter ID and Tax Measures in California

The American Civil Liberties Union is opposing Proposition 39, which combines voter ID requirements and a tax measure currently before voters in California. Proposition 39 would require voters to present official identification for in-person voting and provide the last four digits of that ID for mail-in ballots. The initiative would also involve providing free identification cards and requiring annual reports on verified citizenship percentages in each county.

The measure is part of a series of ballot initiatives voters will consider during the upcoming midterm elections. If passed, Proposition 39 would introduce new tax provisions and regulatory requirements for the state.
