    Column: Voter ID ballot measure fixes a problem that doesn't exist (opens the original)

That’s what Proposition 39 backers ask. And it’s a fair question. Practically everyone, regardless of political affiliation, must understand by now that there simply is no evidence of widespread — significant, meaningful — voter cheating in California or anywhere else in America. This despite conspiracy-theorists

    See more from the L.A. Times in Google Search. Set us as preferred SACRAMENTO — President Trump and the Republican Congress have unintentionally provided California state government with the financial means to subsidize — help save — endangered local news reporting. Now it’s up to Gov. Gavin Newsom to capitalize on the unanticipated gift.

Set us as preferred SACRAMENTO — California could have some zany theater this fall: county prosecutors charging federal postmasters with felonies for obeying President Trump’s order to withhold delivery of mail ballots to voters.

    Column: Xavier Becerra won't deliver the home runs — or strikeouts — racked up by Newsom, Schwarzenegger (opens the original)

He probably won’t be swinging for the fences like Govs. Gavin Newsom and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But he also won’t be striking out a lot trying to hit home runs, like Newsom and Schwarzenegger.
