On Tuesday, Steve Hilton, the Republican candidate for California governor, called for immediate action on election reform, adding that it takes way too long to tally results.
He stood outside the Norwalk office of the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk with his colleagues. He said he thinks the state should issue free voter IDs to all registered voters, and that people who vote in-person should be required to show an ID. He added that mail-in ballots should be mailed in early so that they are received by Election Day.
“If we had voter ID, we wouldn't need all this endless checking of signatures and verification - all the things that they say take all this time,” he said.

He added that while the votes should be counted quickly, “we also need to make sure we have a system people have confidence in.”
Hilton also called on Democratic candidate for governor Xavier Becerra to join him in calling for voter ID.
