FBI visits California MAGA stronghold after elections chief alleges ballot stuffing
Curtis said agents inspected ballots he had locked away after he claimed some mail-in ballots looked, felt and smelled suspicious.
- FBI agents visited the Shasta County elections office last week to inspect ballots locked away by Shasta County Clerk and Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis, who alleged fraud after losing his June primary election.
- Curtis claimed ballots 'smelled wrong' and locked them in a room in August to preserve them as evidence of bad actors fixing elections, prompting federal agents to inspect the site.
- Federal and MAGA-aligned authorities have seized election records in other states including Arizona and Georgia, though experts say the widespread fraud Trump and his allies hunt for 'doesn't exist.'
- A federal grand jury in Sacramento ordered Curtis to produce ballot boxes, though Curtis will remain in office until Joanna Francescut, a former elections official, assumes the registrar role in January.
- Election experts emphasize that California's security measures make forging large ballot numbers 'nearly impossible,' even as Curtis insists he will tally every vote accurately for the November election.
