Vince Fong is a Republican member of the California legislature. He
is running for reelection to his gig here. Also he has filed, or at
least is attempting to file, for the seat in Congress that Kevin
McCarthy is bailing out on at the end of this year.
The
CA Secretary of State is not letting Fong do that, asserting that it is
a violation of CA state law to run for two different gigs at the same
time. Fong is screaming that it isn't "fair" or "right" that he can't
do that. You will notice he didn't say anything about "legal." The
statutory cut-off was ten days ago.
Sometimes,
often in fact, government does not give a rat's ass about "fair" or
"right." They do "legal." You would think a legislator would be able
to pick up on that, wouldn't you?
