Original Note:
Post wrongly states that showing voter IDs at California polling places is now illegal. The new law prohibits cities and counties from creating unique ID rules. Voters must still prove identity during voter registration. New law does not change state or federal ID laws. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB1174 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/aug/30/instagram-posts/a-new-california-bill-wont-eliminate-voter-id-at-p/
