Shasta County’s controversial elections chief, Clint Curtis, is poised to bring in Tina Peters—a felon convicted for election security breaches—to advise on voting systems, despite her ongoing parole and history of spreading election denialism. Curtis, already censured for creating a toxic work environment and violating personnel rules, is nearing the end of his term after losing his re-election bid. While he claims Peters won’t touch voting infrastructure, her past conviction—where she allowed unauthorized access to voting software—has alarmed Colorado officials. As Shasta County navigates a fraught political climate and a blocked voter-approved measure tightening election rules, this hiring decision underscores deepening concerns about election integrity and the influence of figures with a track record of undermining public trust.
