Shasta County, California, supervisor Kevin Crye was served recall papers by a community group on Tuesday after he and two other far-right supervisors voted to terminate the county’s contract with Dominion Voting Systems last month, and Crye subsequently traveled at Shasta County’s expense to meet MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for his view on the conduct of future elections in Shasta County.
The conflict in the remote Northern California county shows how 2020 election conspiracy theories, including those about Dominion Voting machines, continue to propel events around the country.
The recall papers were delivered to Crye in person at a supervisors’ meeting by a community group, Shasta Citizens for Stable Government (SCSG).
“Mr. Crye campaigned on being fiscally responsible,” SCSG’s media spokesperson, Jeff Gorder, told Hatewatch in a telephone conversation.
“He claimed that he would ensure the county didn’t get sued, and that he would stay within the rule of law. He claimed he would be a healer and a uniter,” Gorder said.
“In our view, he hasn’t done any of those things.”
Hatewatch emailed Crye for comment, but there was no immediate response.
Crye was elected last November, when he joined Patrick Jones and Chris Kelstrom to form a far-right majority on the Shasta County Board of Supervisors (SCBOS).
