"The state attorney general and California's campaign watchdog agency have been asked to investigate a new labor-backed group telling voters that signing initiative petitions increases risk of identity fraud.
Carl DeMaio, a San Diego councilman supporting an effort to qualify a local pension reform measure, filed a complaint Monday with the Fair Political Practices Commission alleging that Californians Against Identity Theft is running afoul of state disclosure laws and 'knowingly using false information to alarm voters and stifle the constitutionally protected rights of individuals' in the radio spots and website it launched last week.
In a separate letter, DeMaio asked state Attorney General Kamala Harris to investigate the ad and other activities he said are 'undermining the initiative process' for San Diego voters."
