Shasta’s Nov. 4 Special Election Results Begin
While all of the votes cast in person on Election Day have now been counted, Shasta’s totals are not yet complete.
We will update this story as new rounds of results come in throughout the evening of Election Day.
These are the results in Shasta County as of 1:25 a.m. Nov. 5, with 21 of 100% precincts reporting.
Election Results: Prop. 50
With over 35,000 votes counted in Shasta so far, 69% have voted against Prop. 50. But statewide, Prop. 50 is leading with almost 64% of the vote. The Associated Press has already reported that the proposition passed, meaning that a majority of Californians approved redrawing the state’s congressional districts to favor Democrats in next year’s midterm election. Shasta’s results are still unofficial as many votes remain to be counted.
Election Results: Measure A
With a little over 17,000 votes cast, Measure A is failing in Redding with almost 64% of voters against the initiative. These results are still preliminary.

I like how those that don’t pay taxes complain about those who do.
Unfortunately, time to cut all the social service programs and focus on the core city mission. Police and fire protection. Also, maintaining the roads.
Measure A failed—sorry, kids.
Looks like I’ll be buying that new set of golf clubs and a third ATV.
Exactly what “free stuff” do you think homeless folks in our community are being gifted with any portion of the current 7.25% retail sales tax? All but 10% of the proposed 1% increase was budgeted for public resources and services that affect our whole community and none of that failed increase was to go to any direct services for our homeless population.
With measure (A) failing we will have to cut back on all the free stuff for the homeless. Maybe they can get jobs or move to the bay area.
So then Measure A failing is a good? Solves the homeless issue quite handily it sounds like? Yay? Whew! The sky is *checks notes* NOT falling!
At least they’ll find more Christian compassion and tolerable winter temperatures in the Bay Area.
We have not approved several responses to this comment because they engaged in name calling against the individual commenter.
I did not name call…I said his comme t was shortsighted and mean-spirited and suggested he “be human”.
I respectfully disagree with your review.
I am a 68yr old Female USN Veteran 10yr active duty, and I did not “name call”. Yet you allow the homeless population to be disparage.
I am pulling all further support from Shasta as out, which I thought was for ALL citizens of the Northstate, not just MAGA.
Very disappointed in your comment.
Be human.
Hi Lyn. I appreciate your distinction. You’re right that this was not name calling and I apologize for referring to it as such. The comment you posted was directed specifically at the identity of the commenter – calling him a “sad man.” Our community guidelines call for commenters to avoid personal attacks against other commenters because this so quickly devolves into fruitless name calling. Like you, I deeply value the humanity of those without housing but I do not police other people’s speech when it comes to broad groups such as these.
They’re not going to get jobs. If they wanted to, and could do anything, they’d have a job.
Free stuff you say, LOL. Have you ever experienced being homeless yourself? Obviously not because if you had been you’d know they don’t get a lot of free stuff that you yourself would want. Expired food, used clothing/towels/bedding that people donate instead of dumping them into our landfills. And that’s if you get services from a shelter or mission. I’m surprised that a “working person” would be so greedy about 1¢ per dollar they spend. Just imagine how much money you would have to spend on tax to equal enough for a person to buy their morning Starbucks or Dutch Bros coffee lol. There is a lot more I could say about the homeless, but instead I suggest you try volunteering at a mission/shelter or work with an outreach program a few times. Then maybe you’ll become a little more open minded about solutions for the homeless. I truly hope you never have to experience it yourself. Believe me 99% of them never grew up planning on being a homeless in their future.
