California State Sen. Thomas Umberg (D-Santa Ana) called the 2020 presidential election “an unqualified success,” in terms of how it was carried out in California. He introduced proposed election reforms Dec. 8 that include making mail-in voting permanent in the state.

“The success of this November’s election makes it clear that California needs to be a permanent vote-by-mail state,” Umberg stated in a press release.
