California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday sued his own secretary of state in an effort to have his party affiliation listed on the state’s upcoming recall election ballot following what he called a filing “mistake” by his election attorney last year.
Newsom wants to “require all recall ballots to include either next to or below Newsom’s name his party preference as follows: ‘Party Preference: Democratic, ” according to the lawsuit filed against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, who Newsom nominated swore in earlier this year.
The California Democrat was supposed to mark his party affiliation in February 2020 pursuant to the state’s recall election law, but “due to an inadvertent but good faith mistake on the part of his election attorney, Newsom timely filed his answer but did not include his party-preference election,” the lawsuit said.
