The leaders of a conservative California county that tried to hand-count ballots in response to unfounded claims of fraud have hired a new registrar of voters with no experience running elections.
This image taken from a video feed from the Shasta County website shows Attorney Tom Toller speaking to the Shasta County Board of Supervisors during an interview for the job of Registrar of Voters on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, in Redding, Calif. The Shasta County Board of Supervisors chose Toller to fulfill the unexpired term of Registrar of Voters Cathy Darling Allen, who retired.

The voting machines were made by Dominion Voting Systems, the Canadian-based company at the center of debunked conspiracy theories of why former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.Controversy over the voting machines divided the community to the point that some residents tried to recall Supervisor Kevin Crye from office.
More than two dozen people applied for the position. The board interviewed candidates in public over two days this week, followed by a public discussion and vote. “I’m a firm believer that just because the Secretary of State of California tells us a statute or regulation must be interpreted in a certain way that that’s not the end of the story,” he said. “I can bring an independent mind to the decisions about the election statues and regulations.”
