FAQ

Will this measure make it impossible to vote by mail? 

No, this measure will enable us to return to absentee voting just like we did prior to Covid.  Only those who request a mail-in ballot will be sent a ballot. 

How will you confirm citizenship?

This measure specifies that only US citizens will be eligible to vote.  This is consistent with the US Constitution.  How citizenship will be confirmed will be determined by the Registrar of Voters. 

How long will it take to get election results?

Election results will be known election night or shortly thereafter.  Counting teams of four will count ballots at the precinct.  Teams of four can count approximately 50 ballots/hour.  Counting will commence after 10 ballots have been cast and shuffled, and will continue until polls close.  No results will be published until polls close at 8PM, at which point the results will be taped to the door and updated hourly, until all ballots have been counted.

Will this method cost the county more money? 

No, this method will SAVE the county money.  Voting machine contracts are costly.  The old method of counting employs seasonal workers for a month before the election and month after election.   This measure will enable us to conduct an election on ONE day.  Volunteers will be utilized and offered a maximum daily stipend of $100.  For more information see a cost comparison HERE. 

How does this method increase transparency?

Projectors will be utilized so that citizens can observe, with their own eyes, that a ballot is accurately tabulated and recorded.  The old method utilizes voting machines.  Nobody can see inside the machine to confirm that the ballot was accurately tabulated.  The old method required an observer to take two months off of work in order to observe an election from start to finish.  The new method will be completed in a day, or shortly thereafter, making it accessible to anyone who wishes to observe the entire election from start to finish. 

I never had a problem, why is it necessary for election reform in Shasta County ?

As election observers we have witnessed many election laws violated, these were reported in Ladd v. Toller which is currently under appeal.  The full case can be read HERE, and the evidence is contained in the exhibits HERE.  A summary of the issues can be found HERE.  In addition the Cast Vote Record data reveals that there were unnatural patterns many local, state, and national elections conducted in Shasta County, see more HERE.  The proposed measure will address all of these issues by insuring complete transparency and same day results. 

Is this illegal?

No, this is our constitutionally protected right to alter or reform our government according to the California Constitution Article 1, Section 2.  As a charter county we also have the right under Article 11 of the California Constitution.  Charter law supersedes general law when it comes to municipal affairs.  Elections are defined as municipal affairs in Article 11.
