Bill limiting ballot hand counting in California becomes law; one county pledges to defy statute
ABC News.com ^ | 10/4/2023 | Nicholas Kerr

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation into law on Wednesday that will limit the ability of local governments to manually count ballots less than a year after one northern county’s governing board ditched its contract with Dominion Voting Systems and decided to tabulate results by hand.

Set to go into effect immediately, the law deals a blow to Shasta County’s conservative-majority Board of Supervisors, which voted 3-2 in January to cancel its contract with Dominion amid a flurry of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about the company in the wake of the 2020 election, leaving it without a way to conduct elections for a time.

In response, state legislators introduced and overwhelmingly passed AB 969 in September, which allows hand-counting under narrow circumstances: during regularly scheduled elections in places with under 1,000 registered voters and special elections with fewer than 5,000 voters. It will also block counties from canceling contracts for voting systems in the future without a transition plan and a finalized agreement for a new state-approved system.

Just go ahead and do the hand counts. What is the state going to do, not accept your election results?

They’ll get sued for disenfranchising an entire county of voters, and they can’t win that suit. So they’ll accept your count no matter what the law says.

Then why in flaming Hades does Deep State have to steal their bleeping elections???

The SCOTUS is controlled by Deep State.

That last fig leaf hasn’t fallen yet, but it will.

If the electricity goes out for a week before and a week after election day, Hand Counting MUST BE USED.

What part of Ex Post Facto law do these cretins not understand ?

Ex post facto law

An ex post facto law

is a law that retroactively changes

the legal consequences of actions that were committed,

or relationships that existed,

before the enactment of the law.

They can change it after shastas next election maybe, but i dont see how they can before that.

Wonder why there is a mass exodus of makers from the state? Corrupt to the core.

I don’t believe California has had a legitimate election in a generation.

It’s just not possible that productive normal people would keep voting for that disaster so consistently.
