Shasta County’s election chief is reportedly eyeing Tina Peters — a former Colorado county clerk with a controversial past — for an assistant role, sparking alarm across California politics. Peters, who served time for orchestrating a scheme to tamper with voting machines and security cameras to promote false 2020 election claims, was pardoned but not fully exonerated. Her legal defense was notably funded by Mike Lindell, and she’s been lionized by conspiracy theorists, including former President Trump. Democratic leaders, including Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, are sounding the alarm, warning that her appointment could endanger taxpayer funds and undermine election integrity. While details remain murky — including whether she’s officially offered the job or if her parole permits relocation — the timing is critical as the current assistant clerk steps down due to illness. The choice of who fills this vacancy has become a flashpoint in the ongoing debate over election security and accountability.
