After ending its election services contract with Dominion Voting Systems in favor of hand-counting ballots, a California county is running into high cost and manpower estimates — and resistance from Democratic state officials — as it makes the transition.
The Board of Supervisors for deep-red Shasta County, which has more than 110,000 registered voters, voted 3-2 in January to terminate its contract with Dominion over concerns about the voting machines. The board later decided to move to hand-counting for all of its elections.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Patrick Jones said that many county residents don't trust electronic voting machines.
"There is a great sense they would like to return to something simpler and safer, and more secure from outside hacking," Jones said.
The chairman's comments reflect concerns that former President Donald Trump and others have voiced regarding voting machines during the 2020 election.
Fox News recently agreed to a $787.5 million settlement in a defamation lawsuit that Dominion brought against the cable network over its airing of claims that "Dominion committed election fraud by rigging the 2020 Presidential Election" and "Dominion's software and algorithms manipulated vote counts in the 2020 Presidential Election."
In California's 2022 gubernatorial election, Shasta County voted 73%-27% for the GOP nominee over incumbent Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. In the 2020 presidential race, the county voted 65%-32% for then-President Trump over Joe Biden.

Whenever anyone calls you a conspiracy theorist for questioning today’s elections ask them why the ‘rats are always stand foresquare against any suggestion to make them more secure.
I call B.S. on this one! Didn’t they just decide to give $1,000,000 in reparations to every black citizen of California? So…they’re spending money they don’t have while holding back money they don’t have. Insanity.
This is the ingenuity (sarcasm) from people who are employed by government and never worked a real eff’n job in their lives.
Dominion isn’t the only manufacturer.
And those machines aren’t the only problem.
Though use of rigged machines is the only way to steal a landslide.
Low tech methods can and do provide cover, but cannot provide enough bogus votes to steal a landslide.
Getting rid of electronic voting machines: Costly.
The restoration of our republic by securing our elections: Priceless.
The rats are desperate to get the machines out back into this county. The hand count will demonstrate what a rigg job having the cheat machines is.
No surprise here; the paper ballot will deny the Marxist Dems control of the vote count and Dominion will lose millions.
Its dumb. Machines were a distraction from the real cheat methodology: Harvesting ballots filled out in the names of non existing, left for other states, or not interested people.
Hand counting is no better, and probably even worse, given that the Democrats mastered vote rigging on hand counted ballots decades ago, even before 2000.
The Dominion voting machines aren’t the problem. Full stop.
These machines produce—in real time—a paper copy of the vote registered on the machine... making the results fully audit-able.
This was something that PDJTs administration worked for. Before the 2016 election, roughly 80% of voting machines in the country produced the paper copy. By the Nov 2020, the percentage was 95% nationwide, 100% in contested states.
It is NOT Dominion.
