Clint Curtis and the Election-Denial Ecosystem

---

Clint Curtis remained active in public debates after his early-2000s statements in Florida, shifting his focus toward election-technology concerns and participating in events centered on voting-system skepticism. Over the following two decades, he appeared at conferences, media programs, and public forums where participants questioned electronic voting equipment and raised concerns about election processes. Reporting has noted that many of the claims advanced in these spaces have not been verified by courts or independent election authorities (Levin, 2025; Sosa & LaFever, 2025).

Public appearances and election-related advocacy

Following the 2020 election, Curtis participated in events and broadcasts featuring commentary on election systems, including Mike Lindell’s Moment of Truth Summit (IMDb, 2023; Toomer, 2022). These appearances aligned him with figures promoting critiques of voting-machine use and expressing skepticism about election technology.

Shasta County, California

In 2025, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors appointed Curtis as County Clerk and Registrar of Voters. Press coverage described the decision as part of a broader national trend in which individuals critical of election systems sought roles in election administration (Harting & Mangas, 2025; Benda, 2025; Levin, 2025).

Associations within election-skeptic circles

Multiple news sources have documented Curtis’s appearances on platforms and alongside individuals known for questioning election technology and processes.

Mike Lindell’s media network and events
Lindell has been a prominent funder of election-fraud claims, and courts and fact-checkers have rejected key allegations made within that movement. Curtis’s repeated appearances on Lindell-supported programs place him among commentators active in this space (Brumback, 2024a; Brumback, 2024b; Cercone, 2024).

Dr. Douglas Frank
Curtis has shared stages with Frank, who has promoted mathematical models alleging systematic manipulation of voter rolls. State election officials and the Associated Press reported that the claims were unsubstantiated (Goldin, 2024).

Craig Jardula / The Convo Couch
Curtis appeared on The Convo Couch, a show that has featured commentary on COVID-19 policies and elections that has been disputed by fact-checkers (Higgins, 2021). Jardula has also discussed international election observation experiences (Davis, 2021). In interviews, Curtis reiterated concerns about voting-technology vulnerabilities while Jardula characterized him as a whistleblower (Jardula, 2022).

Election “Roadshow” events
Curtis participated in “Election Integrity Roadshow” gatherings, including in Kansas, where presenters expressed skepticism about voting systems and raised security concerns (Olmstead, 2023). Some public officials criticized the events, while supporters described them as informational forums.

Steve Bannon media context
Bannon’s War Room platform has promoted election-related skepticism, and Bannon has been involved in high-profile legal matters, including fraud charges, a congressional contempt conviction, and statements about future elections (NPR, 2025; Fox TV Digital Team, 2024; Financial Times, 2025; Smith, 2024). Curtis appeared alongside Bannon at Lindell’s Moment of Truth Summit.

Pete Santilli Show
Curtis has also appeared on the Pete Santilli Show, whose host has been associated with far-right activism and prior criminal cases (Hernandez, 2023).

Administrative actions in Shasta County

As Registrar, Curtis proposed significant transparency initiatives, including a $2.6 million camera-and-livestreaming plan related to ballot handling. Some election experts and residents raised logistical and cost-related questions (Sosa & LaFever, 2025).

State officials publicly stated that the California Secretary of State had not approved the changes, and news reports noted that a local outlet, Shasta Scout, was excluded from press notices during that period (Kallepalli, 2025).

Verification status of claims in the election-skeptic movement

Independent audits, state and federal inquiries, and court findings have not validated allegations of systemic voter fraud in the 2020 or 2024 elections. Some prominent election-fraud claims resulted in retractions or legal judgments (Brumback, 2024a; Brumback, 2024b; Tuquero, 2024).

Election-security officials and cybersecurity experts rejected speculative hacking theories, including those involving wireless interference or satellite-based manipulation, citing air-gapped voting systems and paper-audit trails (Goldin, 2024).

California officials have clarified that the state has not approved changes to Shasta County’s election-system approach (Kallepalli, 2025).

Broader context

Political scientists and journalists have examined cases in which skepticism of election systems intersects with public administration, noting concerns about voter confidence and institutional trust where unverified claims circulate widely (Levin, 2025).

Coverage has identified Shasta County as a case study in how national election-skeptic narratives can intersect with local governance decisions (Sosa & LaFever, 2025; Anguiano, 2024).

Summary

Across two decades of public involvement, Curtis has consistently expressed concerns about electronic voting systems and election integrity, participated in public advocacy, and recently assumed an elections-administration role. Multiple independent reviews and court decisions have not substantiated widespread-fraud theories advanced in the broader movement, and his tenure in Shasta County has prompted active public discussion regarding election-system governance and transparency initiatives (Brumback, 2024b; Cercone, 2024; Kallepalli, 2025; Sosa & LaFever, 2025).
