The criticism comes after Bonta's office updated the title and summary for Proposition 39, which will appear before voters this November.
Supporters submitted more than 1 million signatures to qualify the initiative for the November ballot, according to the California Secretary of State's Office.
"Rob Bonta couldn't stop 1.3 million Californians from putting Prop 39 on the ballot. So what does he do? He changes the ballot title to manipulate how voters see voter ID, sabotaging it before Californians ever get a fair vote," Gallagher wrote on social media on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the office revised the title to read: "Prohibits Citizens from Voting Unless They Present Government-Issued Identification." The measure's summary was also updated.
"I actually proposed that we take the ability to write these ballot descriptions out of the hands of an elected political official and instead put it in the hands of a nonpartisan official, the Legislative Analyst," Kiley told CBS News Sacramento. "They already write the ballot guide descriptions, so I don't see why they couldn't also be charged with doing a fair, neutral description for what we're voting for on the ballot itself."
In a statement to CBS Sacramento, the Attorney General's Office said:
California is one of 14 states that generally do not require voters to present photo identification at the polls. However, some first-time voters who registered by mail may be required to provide identification before voting.
