"Supporter of California County's Vote Counting Machine Replacement Faces Recall Election"

Shasta County in California, a conservative stronghold, has faced turmoil over election integrity, leading to a recall election for Kevin Crye, a supporter of ditching voting machines. The move to hand-count ballots has divided voters, reflecting the impact of baseless election claims. Crye, a Trump supporter, faces criticism for meeting with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and is accused of being an election denier. The recall election is seen as a referendum on rural America's response to false election claims and has sparked debates on hand-counting ballots in other conservative regions.
