Shasta County’s election chief, Clint Curtis, is stirring controversy by accusing his own staff of sabotaging a federal election and eyeing Tina Peters—a felon convicted for election interference—to join his team. Peters, once Mesa County’s clerk and now linked to election denial circles, is reportedly weighing the offer amid claims of “monkey business” in elections. Curtis, who lost reelection and was censured by county supervisors, continues to push his conspiracy theories despite mounting backlash, including from Senator Alex Padilla. Critics question whether this move is political theater, especially since Peters’ parole restrictions and history with Trump make her appointment deeply suspicious—even if she accepts, she’ll start in September, just in time for another major conference.
