California Gov. Gavin Newsom exceeded his authority and violated the state constitution with an executive order that let all residents vote by mail if they wanted to, a California judge ruled.

Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman ruled Nov. 13 that the order, N-67-20, “improperly amended existing statutory law, exceeding the governor’s authority and violating the separation of powers.”
