Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks at the California Chamber of Commerce's 94th Annual Sacramento Host Breakfast on Thursday, May 23, 2019, in Sacramento, California.to allow every registered California voter to submit a ballot by mail for the upcoming presidential election.
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a tweet on Sunday that the lawsuit is "just another part of Trump's political smear campaign against voting by mail." The Republican Party is suing California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his decision to allow every registered California voter to submit a ballot by mail for the upcoming presidential election.
"Today we become the first state in the nation to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by mailing every registered voter a ballot," California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in the order.
"In a direct usurpation of the legislature's authority, Governor Newsom issued an executive order purporting to rewrite the entire election code for the November 2020 election," it continues. "This brazen power grab was not authorized by state law and violates both the Elections Clause and Electors Clause of the US Constitution."
That is just a political trick

Voter fraud is a non-issue, if you look at the data. The GOP strategy here is clear: sow doubt about an election they'll more and more likely to lose. Remember in 2016 when Trump said 'it's gonna be rigged, unless I win”. This is the same thing. VOTE these clowns out.
Oregon does it for many years.
Well thats pretty dumb
Cause republicans only win when they cheat and suppress vote.
