(KFSN) — Fresno County is being sued by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber over Measure A. The ballot measure, which was approved by nearly 55 percent voters during the March 5th election, meant elections for District Attorney and Sheriff will take place during the gubernatorial election cycle instead of moving them to the presidential election cycle A 2022 California law required charter counties, that did not specify when said elections would be held prior to January 2021, to move them to the presidential cycle. Presidential elections typically have the highest voter turnout. The lawsuit was announced in a news release from Fresno City Attorney Andrew Janz. “Our democracy works best when everyone can participate and make their voices heard. Fresno’s Measure A unlawfully conflicts with California law and has the potential to suppress voter turnout,” said Bonta in the statement. Bonta said that he is asking for the

Serbia’s Djokovic will compete in singles only, Nadal in doubles only and Alcaraz in both.

Trump won’t commit to debate until Harris formally nominated

Riley Griffin | (TNS) Bloomberg News WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s campaign refused to commit to a debate with Kamala Harris after the Democratic candidate challenged the Republican nominee to show up to a previously scheduled face-off. Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said Thursday night that debate plans “cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee.” “It would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds,” Cheung said in a statement. “What happened to ‘any time, any place?’” Harris posted on X in response. Democrats are poised to virtually nominate Harris and her yet-to-be-named running mate by Aug. 7. She is the only declared Democratic presidential candidate and has received the endorsement of almost every major party figure. The vice president earlier Thursday said she was “ready to debate Donald Trump” and accused him of “backpedaling” from an agreement for a Sept. 10 forum hosted by ABC News. “The voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage,” Harris told reporters upon returning to Washington from a speech in Houston.
