Many in Shasta County had framed the election as a referendum on the board's hard-right turn in the last few years.
The hard-right chairman of the Shasta County Board of Supervisors, who questioned whether voting machines fostered election fraud, has narrowly survived a recall. Supervisor Kevin Crye, a gym owner who took office last year, defeated the recall by just 50 votes out of 9,382 ballots cast, according to final results released by the county registrar Thursday afternoon.
Plummer won nearly 60% of the vote. Allen Long, a retired Redding police lieutenant and relative moderate, won an open board seat representing western Shasta County. In a four-way contest, he won 50.13% of the vote, avoiding a November runoff election by just 14 votes. Mary Rickert, an incumbent and moderate Republican who often clashed with the hard-right majority, won 40% of the vote and is headed for a runoff against quarry owner Corkey Harmon.
