The recount has been called off for the District Two Shasta County Supervisors race. Laura Hobbs rescinded her request Monday, saying that they “were unable to come to mutually agreeable terms for the hand count to occur efficiently and in complete transparency, while maintaining chain of custody.”. Hobbs took 19% in the 4-person contest, coming in second to Allen Long’s 50.13%. He got just 14 votes more than half, allowing him to avoid a runoff in the fall. Hobbs is hoping her pending lawsuit against the county will initiate a recount.
