Shasta County Seeks 'Expert Consultant' for Election Integrity: Convicted Felon Tina Peters Rises to the Top

In a bold move that some are calling 'innovative,' and others are calling 'a flagrant disregard for the fundamental principles of democracy,' Shasta County's top elections official has extended a lucrative offer to Ms. Tina Peters, a woman renowned for her, shall we say, *hands-on* approach to election administration. Peters, whose previous work in Colorado involved a rather intimate, legally problematic inspection of voting machines resulting in a felony conviction, is now being hailed as a potential 'asset' in California’s northern reaches. Sources close to the county, who wish to remain anonymous for fear of being accused of having 'too much respect for the rule of law,' suggest that the hire is part of a wider initiative to ensure 'maximum transparency' by appointing individuals who've already 'seen behind the curtain' — even if they had to pry it open with a crowbar. Critics, often dismissed as 'reality-based curmudgeons,' point to Peters' criminal record, but supporters argue that her experience, however legally dubious, provides an 'unparalleled insight' into the intricate mechanics of electoral sabotage. It’s certainly a novel interpretation of 'qualifications.'
