REDDING, Calif. — A cold rain poured outside as Patty Plumb stood before the Shasta County Board of Supervisors on Election Day and — with a warm smile and a chipper voice — warned that the local voting system is rigged.
Plumb had conducted a "citizen's audit" of the local voting rolls a few months ago, knocking on doors in search of fraud.
Dead people had cast ballots, she insisted, along with people who didn't live in the county. Then there were the electronic voting machines, which Plumb claimed are all connected to the internet and easily hacked by nefarious people.
