Here is the plan for implementing Measure B, should Shasta County need to do so. We will be ready regardless of how they want the election performed. It will stay the same as last time if Measure B is not required to be implanted. If it is, then here is the plan so far. We will begin collecting the necessary resources while Measure B works itself through the courts.

In back-to-back rulings at the end of its term, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed two hot-button issues: mail-in voting deadlines and birthright citizenship. The decisions carry national weight and are directly relevant to California voters concerned with election integrity and immigration enforcement.

Citizens Locked in Legal Battle Against Their Own Government to Restore Election Integrity FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – (June 25, 2026) REDDING, CALIF. – The California Court of Appeal for the Third Appellate District today denied the State of California’s petition to invalidate Shasta County’s voter-approved election integrity measure, Measure B. The court declined to exercise its original jurisdiction “to review the challenged measure at this time” and directed the State to see

Supervisor Chris Kelstrom’s statement was not just misleading — it was a deliberate and cynical attempt to shift blame onto the very citizens and voters he is supposed to represent. Kelstrom whined that this is the “fifth lawsuit” and that proponents keep wanting taxpayers to fund their defense. What he deliberately omitted is that the Board and County Counsel Joseph Larmour started this legal war — and their original justification has now been completely exposed as false.

L.A. noncitizen voting proposal awaits key Monday hearing, sponsored by Councilmember Huto Soto-Martinez. Credit: dailynews.com In a 10-5 vote on Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council advanced a sweeping charter reform package to the November 3, 2026 ballot. Central to it is Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez’s proposal that would empower the council — after voter approval — to allow non-citizens (legal residents and potentially undocumented immigrants) to vote in citywide e

Shasta County, CA — On Saturday, June 6, 2026, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting featuring a closed session on vaguely worded “anticipated litigation.” The public soon learned the item stemmed from a June 4 incident at the Elections Department, possibly triggered by insubordinate conduct by one supervisory employee. Clerk/Registrar Clint Curtis had reportedly been trying to obtain needed information from that employee to complete critical reconcili

Opinion On June 2, 2026, the voters of Shasta County delivered a resounding message: We demand honest, verifiable elections. Measure B passed by a clear majority—55.59% Yes (29,170 votes) to 44.41% No—amending our County Charter to require in-person Election Day voting with limited absentee exceptions, photo ID at the polls, precinct-level hand counts, and independent local management of voter rolls. This wasn’t a close call or a partisan stunt. It was the democratic will of

Texas politician and U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico proudly identifies as a Presbyterian, a seminarian at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and an active member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin—a congregation aligned with the progressive wing of the Presbyterian Church (USA) (PC(USA)). Talarico frequently invokes his faith to advocate for positions on abortion access, LGBTQ+ rights, and progressive social causes, reflecting the denomination’s embrac

Is This the Best Democrats Can Offer Texas? As Texas Democrats pick state Rep. James Talarico as their 2026 U.S. Senate candidate, many voters are asking: Is this the best they have? Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, presents himself as a defender of real Christianity, but he often uses selected Bible verses to push progressive ideas on gender, life, borders, and faith. His words show more left-wing politics than solid biblical teaching. James Talarico - Credit: texastribu

OPINION I’m proud to have helped gather signatures for Measure B, Shasta County’s Charter Amendment to shut down the cheating methods California allows in our elections. As predicted, Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber have sued to overturn it — despite Measure B winning 55.59% of the vote on June 2, 2026. The lawsuit has been served on the County and is on the agenda for the Tuesday, June 16 Board of Supervisors meeting. Will our Supervisors defe
