A California judge has ruled that Gov. Gavin Newsom overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order requiring vote-by-mail ballots sent to all registered voters, according to reports.

Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman ruled Friday that Newsom did not have the authority to amend or change existing election law – even during a pandemic.

The ruling put a permanent injunction on Newsom, prohibiting him from changing existing law under the California Emergency Services Act (CESA), according to KCRA.

Only one thing to do. Throw out the EC votes for the entire State.

Big ruling, that should invalidate those ballots.

It is interesting that on a procedural technicality, the Judge rules Gov Newsom overstepped his authority but it has no effect on the current election.

This is the strategy being used in MI where they are seeking to have an immediate impact on the current election due to a procedural technicality.

Essentially yes. “Executive Order N-67-20 issued by the Governor on June 3, 2020 is void as an unconstitutional exercise of legislative power and shall be of no further force or effect,” Heckman’s ruling said.

That's what? 53 EC votes for Biden?

Works for me.

This is the strategy in many states. President Trump’s legal team began the arguments over ten weeks ago.

Everyone on the planet knew that mail in ballots were a recipe for fraud.

Not over yet.

The suit was effectively made moot because the legislature passed the laws he wanted a few weeks after he made the order. The judge decided to go ahead and rule. The election was not affected.

Right. So in MI, where the laws where not updated, the four individuals bringing suit have standing.

I sense a pattern here... VA governor illegally changing election laws, PA SOS illegally changing laws, GA SOS illegally changing election laws.

Sure is a big case building before SCOTUS

They do this to give the impression that the system is fair. Total BS unless there are consequences.

Still waiting for judges to rule that the covid lockdowns are unconstitutional. I predict that they will rule 10 years from now and of course there will be no punishment for the perps.

Not quite the way it should go. Throw out the election. Legislature then votes CA’s EVs for Biden. But in doing so gives cover for GOP legislatures in PA, MI, WA, GA and AZ to vote their state’s EVs for Trump. AZ McCainiacs decline but rest come through and re-elect Trump.
