Placer County Judge Temporary Blocks Gov. Newsom’s Vote-By-Mail Executive Order

California Globe: On Friday, Sutter County Superior Court Judge Perry Parker granted a temporary block on Governor Gavin Newsom’s Executive Order that requires all registered California voters to receive a mail-in ballot for the upcoming November election.

Mandatory mail-in ballots in California temporarily on hold

Assemblymen James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) and Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) had petitioned Judge Parker for the block by citing that Governor Newsom had overstepped the bounds of his emergency powers when he was the sole lawmaker in Sacramento capable of making laws during the two months of the coronavirus pandemic when the state Legislature couldn’t meet. A concurrent charge of going around the state Assembly and Senate was also given.

The Assemblymen gave a joint statement on Friday after the halt was announced.

“This is a victory for separation of powers,” said the Assemblymen in a statement. “The governor has continued to brazenly legislate by fiat, without public input and without the deliberative process provided by the Legislature. Today the judicial branch finally gave him the check that was needed and that the Constitution requires.” MORE

  1. Wonder if it will hold up when appealed?

    The trend lately seems to be in allowing more executive decrees to determine law, an *intended?) outgrowth of the virus lockdown powers that ignore both law and the Constitution because of an “emergency”.

  2. In Oregon, the Supreme Court just allowed the governor to violate state law, the state constitution and the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Second amendment can’t be far behind. I expect no different from the California Supreme Court.

  3. So in my Brenda Snipesian bastion of Broward County, yesterday I received a handful of postcards addressed to me and the various kids stationed elsewhere. Two of them came for kids who are now registered to vote in NC. Anyone could have lifted one of these and fill it in to get someone else’s “by mail” ballot. They:

    — asked for fill-in of current address and mailing address.

    — allowed for postcard change of party.

    — allowed for multiple elections through 2022.

    — AND provided a box for the voter to UPDATE signature!

    Prepare for massive voter fraud in the upcoming election.
