Throughout the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns the nation’s Democrat governors have shown us just how dictatorial their aspirations are by issuing reams of overreaching executive orders they claim are allowable due to the public health emergency. California’s Gavin Newsom has been one of the worst offenders, but an order issued Friday by Sutter County Superior Court Judge Perry Parker could put a stop to a number of items on Newsom’s wish list.
Two GOP members of the California State Assembly, Kevin Kiley and James Gallagher, filed suit Thursday seeking to invalidate Newsom’s Executive Order N-67-20 pertaining to the November general election and requesting “interim declaratory relief and a temporary restraining order.” Newsom’s EO allowed counties to reduce the number of precincts on Election Day if in-person voting centers were available for at least three days prior, eliminated a requirement for county elections officials to hold publicly-noticed election planning meetings (leading to less transparency and ability for stakeholders to participate), and reinforced a prior executive order directing that each “registered (and otherwise eligible)” voter in the state receive a vote-by-mail ballot.
Friday morning Parker issued a temporary restraining order suspending implementation of the executive order, saying it was “an impermissible use of legislative powers in violation of the California Constitution and the laws of the State of California.”
