Is this something said at the rotory meeting ?
I’m willing to take that risk; I live and am registered in TRINITY COUNTY, so I will have no dog in their hunt, wouldn’t even know who the candidates were.
I am willing to DONATE MY TIME FREE OF ANY CHARGE for how ever long it takes to do an ACCURATE HAND COUNT of any future election!
Willing to DONATE my time for any necessary training in the process that is required by Shasta County or the state of California.
ATTENTION SHASTA COUNTY: Free labor here for ballot counting if you want/need it!
