remarks<\/a> from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who recently joked that \u201cwe don\u2019t need an election on November 3\u201d because of her high confidence in Democrats\u2019 retaining control of the governor\u2019s office.\n <\/p>\n\n \u201cThat is the attitude we get from these people who\u2019ve been in charge of our state for 16 years, and they think that they can just do whatever they want, get whatever bad results, the highest taxes in the country for the worst results, taking everybody for granted, taking their votes for granted,\u201d Hilton said.\n <\/p>\n
\n Becerra, meanwhile, criticized Hilton for backing Proposition 39, an initiative on the ballot this year that would require voters to present a government-issued ID to cast a ballot in person.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThat would make it harder for Californians to vote,\u201d Becerra said of the measure. \u201cWe have to all vote no on 39 to send a clear message to Donald Trump and Steve Hilton that we want people to vote.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Hilton argued back that \u201cthere\u2019s a majority in this state who agree that it\u2019s reasonable to show ID when you vote,\u201d and echoed the refrain that \u201cif we vote the same way in this state as we\u2019ve been doing, we\u2019re going to get the same results.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
