Issa sues California to stop mail-in ballot counting after Election Day

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Rep. Darrell Issa sued the state of California this week to stop mail-in ballots from being counted after Election Day, which he claims provides "an unfair electoral advantage for opponents of Republican congressional incumbents."

The federal lawsuit filed Thursday on Issa's behalf by conservative advocacy group Judicial Watch argues that counting vote-by-mail ballots that arrive up to seven days after Election Day violates federal law and directly led to the defeats of two Republican incumbents in last fall's election.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, who is named as the defendant in the complaint, said in a statement, "I will vigorously defend California's commonsense election laws and safeguard every voter's right to have their ballot counted."

The longtime Republican congressman's lawsuit states he intends to run for re-election in 2026, but "faces a material risk that he may lose future elections due to these unlawful ballots."

1. Issa is a true POS

He's my rep, and even though there are plenty of like-minded MAGAts in this district, IMO even he's getting worried about blowback from Trump's policies.

2. If it's so unfair, how does he keep getting re-elected?

Is he going to sue because people who are in line when the polls close get to vote as well?
