California has one ballot counting trouble spot. Its the one run by an election denier

Fingers are being pointed at Shasta County's clerk - registrar of voters for the slow and mismanaged ballot counting in the rural county. photo credit: US Bureau of Reclamation/Wikimedia Shasta Lake in Shasta County, CA. Photographed on 11 March, 2019. In the end, it wasn't shady bogeymen stuffing ballot boxes or federal agents who caused disruptions on election night in the rural Northern California Republican stronghold of Shasta County. It was the seeming incompetence of Clint Curtis, the county's election-denying elections chief who's soon to be unemployed. Journalists, including CalMatters' reporting partner Shasta Scout, have reported numerous problems with the vote count in Shasta County, a 2.5-hour drive north of Sacramento. They reported overflowing ballot boxes, staffing shortages, workers putting ballots in the wrong bins, computer hiccups and voters arriving at their polling places to find signs saying the location had been moved. Most counties dropped initial results right after 8 p.m. [when the polls closed on election night], but Shasta didn't report any until around 10 p.m. since elections officials hadn't set up their computer system properly, leaving it as the only county in the state that on Wednesday morning hadn't finished counting ballots from those who voted in

Shasta County judge rules local voter measure unconstitutional

A Shasta County judge has once again rejected a controversial local voting measure that would have required voter ID. Judge Benjamin Hanna ruled in court on Monday, Nov. 9, that Measure B exceeds Shasta County's authority as a charter county and is unconstitutional, according to a Shasta County news release. Hanna also said that election integrity and the administration of elections are matters of statewide concern. California law does not give charter counties like Shasta the authority to supersede state law. The ruling comes as a state initiative to require voter ID in elections is headed for defeat. Proposition 39 was on the Nov. 3 ballot. As of Monday, the measure had received 60.4% no notes and 39.6% yes votes. Shasta County voters in the June primary passed Measure B. In addition to voter ID, the measure would have mandated the hand-counting of ballots, restricted mail-in voting to the infirm, the military and U.S. citizens living overseas, and required that elections be held on a single day. Monday was not the first time Hanna expressed skepticism over the legality of Measure B. The California Third District Court of Appeal on Aug. 27 upheld Hanna’s Aug. 7 ruling order granting the

Shasta County misreported June 2 primary results by splitting one precinct into two

SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — A new state report on June’s primary results flags a gap in Shasta County’s data that affects some candidates’ vote totals.
