Save Shasta Elections

A California appeals court denied the state attorney general's request to review Shasta County's voter ID law, Measure B, which requires photo ID for voting and alters election procedures. The court's decision was procedural, allowing the attorney general to pursue relief in the trial court. Measure B, approved by 55% of voters, conflicts with state laws prohibiting photo ID requirements and mandating vote-by-mail and early voting.

California's attorney general sued Shasta County over Measure B, a voter ID ballot measure that requires government-issued ID for registration and voting, eliminates vote-by-mail and early voting, mandates hand-counted ballots, and creates a separate county voter registration system. The lawsuit claims the measure violates state election law by conflicting with existing provisions that guarantee access to vote-by-mail, early voting, and certified voting systems.
