California's 'MAGA-led' county bans Dominion voting machines in heated meeting
SFGATE ^ | Jan. 25, 2023 | Eric Ting ,

Posted on 01/26/2023 5:09:21 AM PST by cuz1961

California's Shasta County — where hard-line conservatives hold a 4-1 majority on the county board of supervisors following the results of the November 2022 elections — terminated its contract with Dominion Voting Systems Tuesday evening. The justification?

Widely debunked

claims

of mass voter fraud.

The county, described by the New York Times as "MAGA-led" following the recall of longtime Supervisor Leonard Moty in February 2022, is California's ground zero for

"Stop the Steal" madness.

Since November 2020, county elections chief Cathy Darling Allen has had to deal with everything from

"aggressive" individuals

impersonating elections officials

to frivolous demands...

/

a discussion of the Dominion contract. The company has been the subject of many

bogus conspiracy theories ....

/

During Tuesday's meeting, several members of the community who spoke during public comment

floated outlandish

election fraud

theories.

/

After Rickert told the board, "We were all elected by Dominion voting machines. I'm just really curious, are we questioning the outcomes of our elections?"

Jones fired back, "Supervisor Rickert,

nobody ran against you,"

a comment that drew laughter from his many ideological allies in the room.

Rickert responded dryly, "You're so cute." /

If they replace these RCV-enabled voting machines with some other company’s RCV-enabled voting machines, that ain’t gonna help...

Dominion isn’t the only manufacturer.

California state law has only three voting systems it allows counties to use: Dominion, Hart and Election Systems & Software (ES&S). Allen told SFGATE she has begun the process of reaching out to the other two vendors, and that it’s too early to know how much the board’s move will cost the county.

Great, iirc,

The same machines

Made in the same place
( communist china )

Different name & logo sticker.

No !!!
Hand counts and audits.

Paper ballots. Voter ID. Endelible ink finger. And then we’ll see how the votes go.

“Widely debunked claims of mass voter fraud.”

I am so tired of reading and hearing the term “debunked”. The media uses the term in place of the words “proven / confirmed / verified” all of which are supported by facts. When something has been debunked it has merely been denied or rejected based solely upon opinion or general consensus.

So, for me, anytime I see or hear somebody use that word it tells me they are either intellectually dishonest or an ignorant moron.

“...hard-line conservatives...”

When does SFGATE ever use the words “hard-line progressives” to describe ANY of THEIR board members? Such hypocrites. /spit

If the Dominion machines were 100% legit. And 100% accurate. And the count results would be the same as using any other machines.

What is the issue? Why would they be so emotionally invested in only Dominion machines?

I think it is pretty telling.

debunked, outlandish, bogus, frivolous, MAGA-led.

They threw the whole Thesaurus at this one. Yet, they refuse to question.

They always blame MAGA! Well MAGA is Correct!

They are correct on the voting machines and they are right that Fauci is responsible for Covid and all the deaths from Gain Of Function research that led to Covid and all the deaths and misery.
The only thing I give Obama credit for is when he found out about Gain Of Function research Fauci was doing in the U.S. he stopped it for being extremely dangerous,that’s when Fauci partnered with Peter Dasak and Ecco health Alliance and the Chinese at the Wuhan lab,Fauci should be drawn and Quartered,he should be in prison for the rest of his life

It will be interesting to compare the next election results between this county and others.

"widely debunked"

Every time I read that it really means "true but let's just say it isnt"

receiving the ballots is only part of the cheat.

COUNTING the ballots is another.
repeatedly counting the same ballot and not counting others.

of course, then there is the traditional problem of military ballots being tossed overboard on their way back to the US.

block-chain voting w/ ballots tied to ballot-wallets accessed via biometrics, password, and voter-id is the only solution that makes cheating nearly impossible.

Go back to paper and put checks into place to prevent fraud even there.

aggressive” individuals

impersonating elections officials

to frivolous demands...

/
Mike Lindell fighting the fraud asked folks to request the
CVR ( cast votes record)
to facilitate a canvas from county election offices.

When I emailed shasta and requested this public record that is supposed to be kept for 24, iirc, months

I received a download link in return email, and a warning that was illegeal to share the civ info or even the received email.

( I deleted the received email and download link cuz I know when I’m being threatened )

I wonder if I,
and others that did the same thing, are the ones being called ...

“Widely debunked claims of mass voter fraud.” Sorry Eric, just saying it doesn’t debunk it. Go take some truth serum.

Dominion does offer a paper ballot system...Fresno Co. (FR HQ) uses Dominion paper ballot scanners to tabulate “bubble fill-in” type paper ballots (remember “Scantrons” from school?)...enables speed of counting and allows paper ballot security/double-checks/recounts.

https://www.dominionvoting.com/imagecast-precinct/

CA county equipment list...some Dominion “Imagecast” machines are touchscreen voting systems (no paper ballot)...not sure exactly what units Shasta Co. was using.

The whole election system needs to completely overhauled to reduce the fraud to an absolute minimum.

The first thing to do is purge ALL voter rolls. Make everyone who is legally qualified re-register using a state government ID and a birth certificate.

Beforehand, put into place an national voter registry instant check system to ensure that no one is registered more than once. Have it check your citizenship status, too.

When voting require from voters a voter ID card AND a state ID card.

Toughen up the sanctions on people that are convicted of voter fraud. Make it a Class C felony with 10 years in the gray bar motel.

This is just for starters.
