The Battle Over Voter ID in California

Californians in this fall’s election will consider Proposition 39, which asks whether voters should be required to show ID when they cast a ballot. Supporters argue the rules are common-sense safeguards essential for restoring public confidence in elections, while opponents contend they pose identity theft risks and disproportionately disenfranchise low-income, minority, and young voters. We’ll unpack the cases for and against Prop 39 with KQED’s Guy Marzorati and Marisa Lagos.

Guests:

• Guy Marzorati, correspondent, KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk
• Marisa Lagos, politics correspondent, KQED, co-host of KQED’s Political Breakdown
