SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — A bill is being discussed in the state legislature that is an indirect, if not direct, result of Shasta County dumping the Dominion Voting Machines in favor of hand-counting ballots.

County Clerk and Registrar of Voters Cathy Darling Allen spoke at the Redding Rotary Club Lunch Meeting on Friday. She says assembly bill 969 (AB-969) has been introduced by Assembly Member Gail Pellerin, a retired county clerk who represented parts of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties.

The proposed law "would prohibit a county board of supervisors from terminating an existing voting system contract without a transition plan and a replacement contract in place," a portion of the document reads.

But that effectively mandates that counties use third party systems. Does the state gave the authority to to that?

Of course. The only way to have an unbiased count is to give the task of vote-counting to a foreign power, or to machines made by a foreign power. It’s in the constitution.

What does California’s constitution say about this? AB 969 if enacted sounds like, at least in part, is unconstitutional per the US Constitution since if applied to Shasta County it would be an ex post facto law.

My reading of this is as currently standing; the Shasta County decision is a past action, therefore would not apply (per my understanding of the text of this bill).

So she’s admitting that the elections in Santa Cruz have been completely fraudulent.

Wouldn’t be worried if they weren’t.

And why require a “replacement contract”? What’s wrong with county elections people and volunteers doing it?

Corruptifornia on display.

I’m willing to take that risk; I live and am registered in TRINITY COUNTY, so I will have no dog in their hunt, wouldn’t even know who the candidates were.

I am willing to DONATE MY TIME FREE OF ANY CHARGE for how ever long it takes to do an ACCURATE HAND COUNT of any future election!

Willing to DONATE my time for any necessary training in the process that is required by Shasta County or the state of California.

ATTENTION SHASTA COUNTY: Free labor here for ballot counting if you want/need it!
