Bias? AG gets sued over blatantly threatening initiative title * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

A blatantly threatening initiative title for this year’s election ballot imposed by Rob Bonta, the far-left attorney general in the state of California, is triggering a lawsuit that is demanding a fair description of what the vote would do.
It is Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, through his Reform California organization, who is going to court over Bonta’s unvarnished politicization of the title to be on the election ballot.
DeMaio explains what is needed is for Bonta “to restore a FAIR ballot title to our Prop 39 Voter ID Initiative!”
The initiative, approved by voters for the ballot, would require ordinary election integrity measures such as identification for voter registration and voting.
Polls show vast majorities of Americans in all parties support those plans.
But Bonta demanded the ballot initiative that had been titled, “Voter ID and Citizenship Verification Constitutional Amendment” be changed to “Prohibits Citizens from Voting.”
A report at RedState identified the issue: “This is insane. The highest law enforcement officer is now actively rigging the election in the middle of the election season.”
It is Proposition 39 that is at issue. It collected more than a million signatures from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents after more than a year of petition circulation under the original wording.
Critics charge Bonta’s scheme is blatantly designed to “tilt public perception against it.”
Republican Assemblyman David Tangipa said, “The most blatant form of cheating and rigging for the November election that we have ever seen.”
RedState explained, “If there’s one thing that Democrats are scared of, it’s voter integrity efforts, and current AG Rob Bonta is doing his best to make sure that a voter ID initiative gets crushed in the November elections.”

Rob Bonta couldn’t stop 1.3 million Californians from putting Prop 39 on the ballot. So what does he do?
He changes the ballot title to manipulate how voters see voter ID, sabotaging it before Californians ever get a fair vote
He couldn’t defeat election integrity honestly, so…

The new ballot wording for the Voter ID initiative is designed to scare and mislead voters. The reason it’s being distorted is that a fairly worded measure would pass. This is why I introduced legislation to remove the Attorney General’s control over ballot language. https://t.co/OGcKwT4x4H

Bonta insisted that he politicization was only to “provide further clarity.”
Fact: It is common for ballot titles and summaries to change from the circulating version to the version voters see on the ballot. California law expressly allows these changes to provide further clarity for voters.
This year, all nine voter-proposed initiatives had changes,…
