Shasta County was sued by the state of California over Measure B, a voter-approved ballot measure seeking to change local election procedures. The measure was supported by about 29,000 registered voters out of approximately 116,000. A California appeal court denied the state's request to review the suit, instructing California to refile in a trial court instead. State officials emphasized that it's only a temporary setback and they will move quickly to protect voters' rights and enforce state election laws.
