Shasta County's new election official under scrutiny for election denial ties
Shasta County’s new elections chief is less than a week into the job and already facing scrutiny for his past job experience, beliefs about election interference and evolving political affiliation.
Clint Curtis was selected as the county’s interim clerk and registrar of voters on April 30 and formally appointed by the Board of Supervisors May 13 when a background check cleared.
He’ll oversee the rural North State county’s elections office, which in recent years has weathered turbulent claims of election interference and efforts to hand-count elections.
The retired attorney ran a law firm with offices in New York, Florida and the Dominican Republic. He has no experience overseeing elections, but according to his cover letter has worked on cases challenging election results, including a “2016 challenge to President Trump’s election results in Florida.”
