Far-right county throws out voting machines – with nothing to replace them
Shasta county’s decision to move to a hand-count system has drawn support from the election denial movement

In Shasta county, a conservative stronghold of 180,000 in the far north of blue California, a new vision for elections is taking shape: paper ballots, no machines and results tallied entirely by hand.

It’s a vision predicated on the false belief that voting machines helped to steal the presidency from Donald Trump, and that the systems by which millions of Americans vote are unsafe. But in Shasta, they just might make that vision reality.

Shasta became a hotbed for far-right politics in the pandemic years, and election deniers have found allies on the county’s governing body, the board of supervisors. In March the board’s hard-right majority cut ties with Dominion Voting Systems, the company at the center of baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud.

Last week the supervisors took steps to replace it with a hand-count system. The county ended its contract with Dominion before establishing a replacement and now, with a potential special election months away and the presidential primary a year out, it has no voting system in place as it embarks on a plan to create an entirely new system from scratch.

The registrar of voters, the elected official who oversees voting in the county, warned it would be a challenging and time-consuming effort – requiring more than 1,200 new workers at a cost of at least $1.6m – and still far less accurate than the machines the county has used for years. The deputy secretary of state has warned the county could violate multiple federal and state laws by not selecting a certified voting system. But the board of supervisors moved ahead.

The county’s decision could have long-lasting consequences for the region and provide a framework for election deniers on how to advance their agenda across the US, all while giving oxygen to false claims that the nation’s voting technology is compromised.

Mike Lindell claims the Trump indictment unified the entire country, and he has been talking to a bunch of liberal democrats and they all told him it’s a sham and they are supporting Trump now.

In addition to being a major advertiser for Fox, Mike Lindell also regularly promotes outlandish conspiracy theories. Thanks to the Dominion lawsuit we now know how Tucker Carlson's producers handled that predicament behind the scenes.

Attention MAGA GOP: Mike Lindell is absolutely right on this. NO #VoteByMail or Absentee Ballots in 2024. Any Republican trying to do this will be pummeled with a MyPillow 2.0 (the best sleep just got better and don't miss the Buy 1, Get 1 Free sale). Again, NO MAIL-IN VOTING.

Wisconsin Republicans once more felled by a common foe: The mail
“The message to our voters needs to change,” said a veteran GOP operative.

Republicans lost big in Wisconsin. But their downfall came well before Tuesday. Liberal Milwaukee County judge Janet Protasiewicz crushed former conservative state Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly. The race wasn’t particularly close. Protasiewicz won by 11 points, or over 200,000 votes.

One reason she won: She had a big head start on votes before polls even opened on Tuesday. At least 435,000 people voted early, either by mail or in-person. Democratic Party officials estimated ahead of the election that Protasiewicz banked at least a 100,000 vote advantage from that bucket of voters. “Democrats are playing a totally different game than Republicans are,” said Rebecca Kleefisch, a Republican who has served as Scott Walker’s lieutenant governor and lost a gubernatorial primary last year.

Democrats have embraced a big mail and absentee voting strategy in the past few cycles, but Republicans have been skeptical — in part because of loud criticism of the practice from former President Donald Trump. But it comes at a cost. Republicans are increasingly finding themselves in the hole before Election Day even arrives. “We need to do what is legal, the same way Democrats are doing what is legal,” Kleefisch said. “Republicans sometimes cling to strategies that are not embracing all of the new opportunities that have been afforded.”

The lack of mail strategy creates a huge financial and get-out-the-vote disadvantage for Republicans — and after Tuesday’s blowout, some in the party are renewing calls for that to change. “You can’t be down several hundred thousand votes and think that you’re going to make it up in 13 hours on Election Day. I mean, that’s just not a math equation that works for our side,” said state Republican Party executive director Mark Jefferson.

"It'll all come to a head this August!"

And there's a billboard on I-75 in downtown Detroit for the ECB! They say nearly 500,000 see it a day [Mike: "Wowwww"] and Brandon says "Traffic is stopped dead looking at it".





Also, Foggy, now Mike is clearing out the PERCALE SHEETS for as low as $25! AND there are a few more pairs of SLIPPERS left. Use Promo Code L77. They're going on national teevee tomorrow so act quickly because when they're gone, they're gone.

I can tell you from personal experience that the only thing that tops traffic on I-75 in Downtown Detroit is construction.

I dunno if this has anything to do with I75 or not, but I was talking to a lady from New York the other day that said she once got lost in downtown Detroit and ended up in Windsor?!?
