REDDING, Calif. – The Shasta County Board of Supervisors approved sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Supervisors are asking the DOJ to investigate audit log issues relating to the March 5th primary county elections.
The alleged audit log issues were first brought up by Steven Umfleet, who presented his evidence to the Shasta County Elections Office just a few weeks ago.
Shasta County Supervisors approve sending letter to DOJ to investigate ballot ink overspray issues.
Umfleet is part of a group of private citizens in San Benito County who say they work to ensure election integrity.
But, that wasn’t the only voting-related issue supervisors discussed.
At issue is Tom Toller the Shasta County Clerk Recorder has conducted the election of November 5, 2024. Well over a week after the the election it is being reported by one county supervisor that Toller and the hold over staff of Retired Shasta County Clerk Recorder Cathy Darling Allen have committed major election fraud in the course of the March 5, 2024 primary election and the November 5, 2024 Presidential election.
“The citizens of Shasta County have no confidence in the computation of the vote tallies of their votes using the election tabulators with the ballots provided by the Thomas Toller, Registrar of Voters to the citizens. Nor do the citizens have confidence in the adjudication process because all of the ballots have the initial problem, overspray of the ink”.
Toller who has no experience with elections has failed to correct numerous fault in the election system in spite of being warned by county officials of the presence of issues such as ink overspray on ballots to how the ballots that are being tabulated.
County officials have been put on legal notice by New California State with a Cease and Desist order that the voter fraud is massive and it is necessary for the local Sheriff to investigate the county clerk recorder and his staff for what has been described by legal council as “massive voter fraud”.
CEASE AND DESIST
Dear Sir or Madam:
It has come to our attention that the elections in Shasta County for the General Election of November 5, 2024 being administered by the Registrar of Voters for Shasta County, Thomas Toller, have been encountering equipment malfunctions when specifically reading the markings of candidate selections on the voter ballots. The malfunctions are specific to the machines being used to tabulate the vote counts as a result of overspray of ink on the ballots that were provided by RunBeck, the vendor contracted to print the ballots for the election. The overspray of ink, not visible to the naked eye but can be seen by the sensors of the ballot reader equipment, is causing mis-reads, skipped reads of the ballots thus producing because they unable to accurately “read” the ballot while being scanned. The untrustworthy reads of the ballots are requiring the ballots be adjudicated by hand to “new” ballots provided by RunBeck but unfortunately, the new ballots also have the overspray, so the problem has not been resolved. Citizens have observed employees of the Registrar of Voters manipulating ballots without any oversight in rooms set aside from public view along with repeated incidences of ballots that have been scanned that are not recording the votes marked by the voters.
The citizens of Shasta County have no confidence in the computation of the vote tallies of their votes using the election tabulators with the ballots provided by the Thomas Toller, Registrar of Voters to the citizens. Nor do the citizens have confidence in the adjudication process because all of the ballots have the initial problem, overspray of the ink. The citizens of Shasta County delivered a Cease and Desist letter on October 3, 2024 that included the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) language that clearly addresses the concern of untrustworthy tabulation results:
Concern was also indicated on the Shasta County Supervisor’s board agenda for November 14, 2024. Items R-3,4 and 5.
Runbeck supplied Shasta County’s voting ballots this election, while Hart InterCivic machines are the new voting machines supervisors voted to bring in to replace Dominion Voting Systems last year.
Multiple voters sounded off at Thursday night’s meeting after discovering no reps would show. “Logs give the public insight into action that were performed by a computer system, and are critical for transparency.”
Another one added, “These audit logs are messed up. They wouldn’t pass the Secretary of State standards if they were being tested right now, so why are we using them?”
“If you would’ve kept Dominion to begin with, we wouldn’t even be here talking,” another speaker claimed.
Most speakers throughout the evening said they prefer hand-counting ballots over duplicating ballots. “The solution all along has been a one-day vote at the precincts on paper ballots, and hand-counting.”
Shasta County Clerk & Registrar of Voters Tom Toller said at Thursday night’s meeting that the duplication issues that have slowed down his office’s counting is Runbeck’s fault. “It will end up being the most fair and accurate election I’ve ever seen in my life, because I’ve got at least nine sets of eyes on at least half of the ballots that we’re voted” Toller said emphatically to supervisors.
Shasta County’s contract with Runbeck Election Services expires on December 31st.
Both election-related agenda items at Thursday night’s meeting were sponsored by outgoing District 4 Supervisor Patrick Jones, whose term expires next month.
Supervisors voted 3-2 to send a letter to the United States Department of Justice, requesting they investigate Runbeck Election Services’ ink overspray issues.
Supervisors Jones, Crye and Kelstrom all voted yes, while Supervisors Garman and Rickert voted no.
