After voting to dump Dominion Voting Systems earlier this year, Shasta County officials are grappling with the complex logistics of actually hand-counting ballots in a county of 200,000 people.
Weeks after deciding to dump Dominion Voting Systems and become the largest government entity in the U.S. to hand-count its votes, Shasta County officials are now grappling with the complex logistics of actually carrying out that approach, accurately and legally, in a county of 200,000 people.
On Thursday, the Assembly passed a bill that would make it more difficult for any other California county to follow Shasta’s lead. AB 969, which now heads to the state Senate, would require a county board of supervisors to have a signed contract in place with a new voting system that meets state approval before canceling a contract with an old one. The bill was sponsored by Assemblywoman Gail Pellerin, a Democrat who formerly served as registrar of voters in Santa Cruz County.
Supervisor Patrick Jones, who spearheaded the movement to dump Dominion, shot back: “This is going to be our legacy. We are going to have free and fair elections in Shasta County.”“My legacy is going to be how I serve the Lord,” he continued. “That’s my faith first, and my family second, and definitely children third.”With his ouster from Fox News, Tucker Carlson holds the rare distinction of being fired by all three major cable news channels.
Jones countered at one point that for some in the audience, “money seems to be more important than making sure our elections are fair.” “In a normal world, a policy change would have preparation and a research phase,” said Darling Allen, the only Democrat elected to countywide office in Shasta. “We are doing it on the fly.”In Northern California’s Shasta County, where hard-right politicians are in control, the damage from lies about the trustworthiness of voting machines is playing out with real-world consequences.
