California Secretary of State Shirley Weber will appeal a Sacramento judge’s decision to let Republican Assemblyman Vince Fong run for both Congress and the state Legislature at the same time. And she has an unlikely comrade in her appeals process: MAGA Republican and one of Fong’s competitors for Congress, David Giglio.

Weber’s office on Friday confirmed it would file to appeal Judge Shelleyanne Chang’s Thursday decision to allow Fong to be on both the primary ballots for the 20th Congressional District — to replace his former boss, ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy — and the 32nd Assembly District, which encompasses parts of Kern and Tulare counties in the Central Valley.

“I strongly disagree with the outcome of this case, and I am gravely concerned about the consequences of today’s ruling,” Weber said in a statement Friday. “I do agree, however, with the Court’s expressed concern that this ruling ‘may result in voter confusion and the disenfranchisement of voters if Fong is ultimately elected for both offices but does not retain one,’ and that it ‘defies common sense to find the law permits a candidate to run for two offices during the same election.’”

On Friday morning, Giglio, who calls himself “the only America First Republican” running for the 20th, released a statement condemning the California Republican Party, which lauded the Sacramento Superior Court judge’s decision.

“The GOPe (sic) does not care about election integrity,” Giglio said.

“Ignoring election laws when they benefit their agenda is evidence that the Washington uni-party is joining forces to keep outsiders from breaking into their club and destroying the status quo. They call it ‘Permanent Washington’ for a reason. Kevin McCarthy isn’t actually leaving Congress, he’s installing a puppet who will do the bidding for him and the corrupt RINO establishment.”

Ridiculous ruling by an incompetent judge.
