A California voter ID proposal could land on the November ballot as debate over federal election policies intensifies. Roughly 1.3 million petition signatures were submitted for verification — well above the 875,000 threshold required for a constitutional amendment pitch to go before voters, according to CalMatters. “This is a true, grassroots, broad-based, bipartisan movement. It’s about good government,” Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-CA) said in a recent video regarding the effort. “In November, we will strike a blow for democracy. We will improve public trust and confidence in our elections, and the fact that that frightens the establishment politicians who have failed us, we need to keep this bipartisan movement going,” DeMaio added. Specifically, the initiative would require photo identification for those who choose to vote in person, or “the last four digits of a government-issued identification number when voting by mail.” Secondly, it would require proof of citizenship in order to be registered to vote. It would also require the Golden State to “provide voter identification cards on request” and for election administrators to provide an annual update on the “percentage of each county’s voters whose citizenship they have verified.” The amendment, if passed, would have “tens of millions” in “one-time” expenses, as well as “tens of millions of dollars to the low hundreds of millions of dollars to fulfill new requirements related to elections administration,” according to the Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance estimate. Some of the key ideas in the proposal are similar to those outlined in the SAVE America Act, which President Donald Trump has been urging the Senate to pass. “It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday. “MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!” he wrote. Opposition to the California-based initiative remains, including from liberal groups such as the League of Women Voters of California and the American Civil Liberties Union. “This voter ID measure is not about protecting voters; it is about importing the current federal administration’s election lies and intimidation tactics into California,” Jenny Farrell, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of California, said in a March 2 statement. “It would expose voters’ sensitive personal information, create new ways to reject eligible ballots, and wrongly target voters through error-prone citizenship checks.”

Whoopi Goldberg and her cohosts on ABC’s “The View” suggested during Tuesday’s broadcast that President Donald Trump may have started a war with Iran to keep the American people distracted from the Epstein files and the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case. Goldberg raised the possibility first, saying it was “nutty as hell” that a major military conflict — involving a known bad actor and American interests and allies in the Middle East — was sucking up all the oxygen in the media space and arguing that it was an intentional play to redirect public focus. WATCH: Whoopi claims the conflict with Iran is a distraction from the search for Nancy Guthrie and the Epstein files: GOLDBERG: Well, I mean, it’s just nutty as hell. It’s nutty as hell and you’re right, every day is something new. And it’s — you know, I was thinking about it… pic.twitter.com/Boyu2mYouH — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) March 10, 2026 “I mean, it’s just nutty as hell. It’s nutty as hell and you’re right, every day is something new,” Goldberg began. “And it’s — you know, I was thinking about it yesterday, because I thought, well, okay, why haven’t we been talking about Savannah Guthrie and what’s going on there?” “And her mother,” Sunny Hostin interjected. “Why haven’t we not been — why have we not been talking about the Epstein files? Because that’s still there,” Goldberg continued. “This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else.” The audience and the others around the table applauded and voiced their agreement. “It’s a very wag-the-dog feeling. Very wag-the-dog feeling,” Hostin said, employing the slang term for use of a military action that is intended to divert public attention from a politically damaging issue. The panel then pivoted to claim that the Trump administration viewed members of the military as “cannon fodder.” Cohost Sara Haines said that anyone who waged war should keep the human cost in mind, and Goldberg immediately claimed that the Trump administration did not do that. “They don’t have that feeling, because to them, we’re cannon fodder,” she claimed. “They don’t care, you know? It’s how — It’s why they — it’s how they also treat our vets. It tells you a lot. You’ve heard him talk about vets.” President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and War Secretary Pete Hegseth were all on hand for the Dignified Transfer to receive the remains of the first six American service members killed during Operation Epic Fury. Vice President Vance, a Marine Corps veteran himself, attended the Dignified Transfer for the seventh. Trump referred to the ceremony as “the toughest thing I have to do as President.”
