Registrar of Voters Cathy Allen Darling says the county will no longer manually tally votes now that AB969 has been signed into law.
Jones also feels the board was misled into approving the new Hart voting technology, making the machines invalid. The Hart contract discussed in the board’s April 6 meeting contradicts his claims.
The ordinance doesn't explain how the committee will make decisions or how the Board will utilize its advice. It could also open the door to increased harassment of election staff.
If approved, an ordinance on the Board’s October 3 agenda will solidify a just-formed citizen advisory committee into law, giving it more oversight and power. The County’s own legal counsel says the proposed ordinance is legally insufficient and unenforceable.
The county’s election office has certified enough District 1 signatures to move the recall forward for a vote. Crye says he’s unafraid to face voters at the ballot box because he’s the same guy they elected last year.
Shasta County’s recall politics rose to the surface during the Council's discussion of whether to send a letter over election costs.
Crye says he’s undeterred and will win in the end.
"Our schools really are the backbone of our community."
Crye’s just been announced as a speaker at an upcoming election summit being held by Lindell. He says he's no longer participating. Also, was Crye's March trip to speak with Lindell a legitimate county business expense? We explain.
