Shasta County Votes Against Election Conspiracy

In Shasta County, a quiet registrar race turned explosive as incumbent Clint Curtis—tied to election denialists and Mike Lindell—faced off against veteran deputy Joanna Francescut. Curtis, who slashed ballot drop boxes and spread baseless fraud claims, was caught threatening staff and using work time for campaigning, calling investigations a “hack job.” Francescut’s strong lead in preliminary results signals voters may be rejecting conspiracy-driven election management, especially after the county’s prior controversial ballot-counting stunts. This race is a bellwether for how far election myths still sway the electorate. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
