This red California county roiled by a far-right-insurgency braces for more trouble as election nears

This red California county roiled by a far-right-insurgency braces for more trouble as election nears

...

As a devoted Republican who runs a cattle ranch and proudly talks about owning a gun, Shasta County Supervisor Mary Rickert is an unlikely progressive icon.

But that is exactly what the 72-year-old devout Catholic and grandmother has become to some in this northern California county — which has been convulsed by conspiracy theories about voter fraud and other extremist ideologies over the last three years

Rickert is still a staunch conservative. But she has also emerged as an often lonely voice on the Board of Supervisors against a far-right insurgency that has roiled her county. ...

The county’s new voting machines are failing to properly count ballots

.... In recent years, Shasta County has attracted national attention for its embrace of voting conspiracy theories along with 2nd Amendment and anti-vaccine causes.

...

But no matter what happens in that race, there are signs that some chaos may continue. On Wednesday, the county announced that its new voting machines were failing to properly count ballots.

The county purchased the machines after it dumped Dominion and a new state law blocked it from hand-counting.

Shasta County is a lovely place. Lake Shasta, the largest reservoir in CA, and Mt Lassen are there. Unfortunate to see this kind of division

...

other extremist ideologies

...

oh ?

what would those be ?

if they were important enough to be feared as extremist and something to include writing about you would think in the interest of keeping the public informed and protected that they would name and explain what those dangerous ideologies are

or is this just more baseless hysterical paranoia propaganda and fear mongering that destabilizes a community ?

“the largest reservoir in CA”

Maybe in reservoir area when it’s full, but it’s REALLY low right now, so maybe not the largest in acre-feet of water.

Maybe they are getting ready for record snowmelt inflow next spring.

Great data. Thanks. Too bad the chart doesn’t show a long-term average line. But eyeballing it, it does look like 2024 is about average for 2019-2023.

As opposed to the left-wing insurgency in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Not so. It’s at 57%, looks like about 2.5 million acre feet, 106% of the historical average

“It’s at 57%”

I drove by Lake Shasta about 10 days ago. It’s always amazing to see how empty it looks this time of year. Given the “fee” shape of the valleys, there’s no way I’d ever guess it was at 57% of capacity.

Pretty sure Shasta County hasn’t attracted national attention at all, so the author is probably smoking something.

Hopefully it hasn’t. Don’t need more lefties flooding into another beautiful area and ruining it with their politics.
