Shasta Registrar Clint Curtis claims the Secretary of State has greenlit his election plans. The state says otherwise.
Speaking to reporters outside of the board chambers on Tuesday, September 23, Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis said he’s been in regular communication with the Secretary of State, California’s chief election official.
Asked by a reporter if the State has approved his policy changes in how ballots will be processed – involving a “canvassing board” of people to process mail in ballots as well as a plan to film part-time election workers counting votes – Curtis said yes. He added that in some cases, he’s taking more cautious measures than even the state authorities would require.
But the Secretary of State’s office told Shasta Scout today that they have not reviewed, let alone approved, any such proposals.
“Mr. Curtis’ claim that the Secretary of State has approved his plans is false,” the SOS office wrote by email. “We have not seen, nor have been provided, with any such plans.”
