Excerpt:
The state said it will monitor Shasta County ahead of the November 7th special election.
Shasta County Board of Supervisors Chairman Patrick Jones said he expected a letter like this, but Shasta County Registrar of Voters Cathy Darling Allen said this letter is special.
The Secretary of State Shirley Weber sent the letter to the Board of Supervisors and Registrar of Voters on October 27th.
Jones called this an overreach by the state against the county and that he is seeking out legal firms to take this matter to court. He said he is more focused on the primary election in March 2024, not the special election next week.
