Overview

• Shasta County, California, faces a recall election for Supervisor Kevin Crye after the county ditched Dominion vote-counting machines for hand counts.
• The move, supported by Crye, a Trump ally, reflects the area's skepticism towards election integrity, fueled by false claims of voter fraud.
• California Legislature passed a law limiting hand counts, challenging Shasta County's decision and sparking a broader debate on election security.
• Residents are divided, with some supporting Crye for his stance on transparency and others viewing the recall as a fight against election misinformation.
• The recall is seen as a test of rural America's response to election fraud claims, with implications for other regions considering hand counts.
