Judge Benjamin L. Hanna Dismisses Lawsuit – Measure B Will Remain on June 2, 2026 Ballot REDDING, Calif. – March 26, 2026 – In his written ruling issued today, Judge Hanna found that Katske’s petition failed to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action and that pre-election judicial review of a qualified initiative is not appropriate. The dismissal clears the way for Measure B to remain on the June 2, 2026, ballot as certified by the Registrar of Voters. Kari Chi

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the debate over election integrity remains front and center in American politics. Voter identification requirements and access to mail-in ballots vary dramatically from state to state, reflecting a federal system in which election rules are largely set at the local level rather than in Washington. A comprehensive review of current laws reveals that 36 out of 50 states already require or request some form of identification at the polls.

A former Lodi City Council member who narrowly won election in 2020 by allegedly orchestrating a voter fraud scheme that involved registering dozens of fake voters and stashing completed mail-in ballots at his home was sentenced this month to three years in county jail.

Over 10,000 Shasta County citizens signed the petition to qualify Measure B for the ballot. Now they—and all concerned residents—have the opportunity to show up, submit a speaker card early, and speak up to defend direct democracy against preemptive legal challenges. This is a rare and valuable window for citizens to directly urge the Board to take action in defense of a voter-qualified measure. With the April 10 court hearing looming, your voice could influence whether the

Today the Shasta County Board of Supervisors performed their ministerial duty to add our election reform initiative to the ballot.    Unlike the highly unpopular city tax measure that got placed on the ballot immediately for a special election, our initiative will be voted on by the people during the regularly scheduled June 2, 2026 primary election.   

Sacramento, CA – November 5, 2025 – Unofficial results from the Secretary of State show Proposition 50 maintaining strong momentum, with 64% of voters (5,154,529) supporting the measure and 36% (2,927,923) opposed. Certification is still 37 days away on December 12, 2025, leaving room for shifts as remaining ballots are processed. If passed, Prop. 50 would strip the independent, bipartisan California Citizens Redistricting Commission of its authority to draw congressional ma

In response to a Truth Social post by President Trump alleging fraud in California's Proposition 50 redistricting vote—particularly involving mail-in ballots—Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fielded questions from reporters, including those from Politico and the Los Angeles Times, during this afternoon’s briefing in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.

November 4, 2025 Dear America, Please stop referring to members of the Senate and House as our "leaders". We do NOT answer to them. They are merely our representatives, and they should be reminded of that fact often. October 31, 2025 Yes, PBS, (10-30-25) the Voter ID petition gatherers garnered enough valid signatures to place the Election Integrity measure on the ballot.   The First Amendment to the Constitution—the law of the land—includes the right to "petition the govern
