re: #276 Joe Bacon

At a board meeting this week, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors announced that they were canceling the county’s contract with Dominion Voting Systems, citing debunked conspiracy theories promoted by Fox News and other right-wing media outlets about the security of the company’s machines. Officials said they would look into other options for voting in the county, like hand-counting ballots, and claimed that residents don’t trust the Dominion equipment.

Supervisor Kevin Crye also announced that he’d been in touch with none other than Lindell - an election denier and chief proponent of the lies about Dominion - about the issue. Lindell offered to support a pilot voting system to replace the machines and help the county fend off any possible legal challenges, Crye said.

In a statement to the Times, a Dominion spokesperson said the vote to remove the machines was “yet another example of how lies about Dominion have damaged our company and diminished the public’s faith in elections.”

Yeah, I heard that the folks who actually have to run the elections up there aren’t thrilled because getting a new system that complies with actual election law isn’t just a matter of filling out your paper ballot at the polling place.
Also, I wonder how all those conservatives will feel about having to wait weeks or months for results.
