加州法院终审废止 Shasta County 选举 Measure B：要求带照片证件、取消邮寄投票等条款被判违法并永久禁止实施
加利福尼亚州总检察长 Rob Bonta 与州务卿 Shirley N. Weber 11月13日宣布，两人已取得一项终审判决：法院宣告 Shasta County 的 Measure B 违法，并永久禁止其实施。这项由该县选民通过的地方措施原本将彻底改变该县的选举办法。
据总检察长办公室介绍，Measure B 要求选民登记与本人投票时出示政府签发的带照片证件，取消邮寄投票与大部分提前投票选项，强制以人工方式点算选票，并另建一套与州系统脱钩的县级选民登记系统。Bonta 与 Weber 于2026年6月30日在 Shasta County 高等法院提起诉讼，主张该措施超出该县作为特许县的宪法权限：特许县在选民登记与选举事务上没有自治权，相关事项由州法优先适用，且该措施与加州关于选民身份、邮寄投票、提前投票、选票点算及全州选民登记系统的法律直接冲突。
诉讼期间，两人先取得一项初步禁令，阻止该措施在2026年11月3日选举期间实施，并成功在上诉中维持了该禁令。此次终审判决使 Measure B 失效，确保 Shasta County 继续按加州选举法举行选举。该县有超过116,000名登记选民。
Bonta 说，加州致力于确保每一位合格选民都能行使投票权参与民主，州政府不会容忍干预本州选举程序的企图，这项判决关停了又一次对加州选举与基本投票权的违法攻击。Weber 说，Measure B 从一开始就注定违法，提出者明知违法仍将其提交选民表决，是对时间与纳税人资金的巨大浪费；只要有人制定鲁莽、违法、起草粗糙的法律，州政府就会在法庭上见。
总检察长办公室还提到，Bonta 上周庆祝美国司法部撤回一项诉讼，该诉讼曾试图迫使加州选举官员把约20,000名被其认为「可能」为非公民者的邮寄选票排除不计，该案从地区法院一路到美国最高法院连败四次后被撤回；Bonta 还成功挑战了美国邮政局一项被指违法干预各州管理选举宪法权限的最终规则。

Final Court Order Strikes Down Shasta County's Measure B, Permanently Blocking Its Photo-ID, Mail-Voting and Hand-Count Rules
California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber announced on November 13 that they have secured a final judgment declaring Shasta County's Measure B unlawful and permanently enjoining its implementation. The local measure would have upended the county's election system and undermined state election law protections.
According to the Attorney General's office, Measure B would have required voters to present government-issued photo identification to register to vote and to vote in person, eliminated vote-by-mail and most early voting options, mandated the hand-counting of ballots, and created a separate county voter registration system disconnected from the state. Bonta and Weber filed suit in Shasta County Superior Court on June 30, 2026, arguing that the measure exceeded the county's constitutional authority: as a charter county, Shasta County has no home-rule authority over voter registration or elections, which are preempted by state law, and the measure directly conflicted with California laws governing voter identification, vote-by-mail, early voting, ballot counting, and the statewide voter registration system.
During the litigation, the two officials secured a preliminary injunction that blocked the measure from being implemented during the November 3, 2026 election, and successfully defended that injunction on appeal. The final judgment invalidates Measure B and ensures Shasta County will continue to hold its elections in accordance with state election laws. The county has more than 116,000 registered voters.
Bonta said California is committed to ensuring every eligible voter can participate in democracy by exercising the right to vote, and that the state will not stand for attempts to interfere in its elections process, calling the decision the shutdown of another unlawful attack on California's elections and the fundamental right to vote. Weber called Measure B a colossal waste of time and taxpayer funds, saying its proponents knew it was unlawful but submitted it to voters anyway, and that the state will keep meeting reckless, illegal, and poorly drafted laws in court.
The Attorney General's office also noted that Bonta last week welcomed the U.S. Department of Justice's decision to drop a lawsuit seeking to force California election officials to set aside mail-in ballots from a list of approximately 20,000 individuals it believed were likely noncitizens, after four consecutive losses from the district court up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and that he had also successfully challenged a U.S. Postal Service final rule.
