April 28, 2026

KGET Capitol Correspondent Eytan Wallace reported on the qualification of Assemblymember Carl DeMaio's Voter ID ballot measure for the November 2026 ballot, featuring reaction from both supporters and opponents of the initiative. The segment includes remarks from California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber, who was interviewed at the April 27 Sacramento event co-sponsored by the Institute of Governmental Studies and the UC Student and Policy Center, where IGS Co-Director Eric Schickler presented findings from the April Berkeley IGS Poll on Californians' opinions on the state of democracy. Weber characterized the measure as "a waste of money and a waste of time," arguing that California already has procedures in place to protect against voter fraud.
