Forensic Accounting Analysis of Shasta's ROV Hand Count Budget by Chriss Street

Chriss Street applies his expertise as a CEO and investigates the proposed budget as if he were performing a forensic accounting exercise.

Based on data provided by the ROV (register of voters) on March 28, 2023 to the board he calculates that in 2022 the ROV spent about $1.85/ballot performing an 8% canvas.

Using these numbers he extrapolates out what it would cost to count 69K ballots by hand. He comes up with $1.85/ballot or $127,650. This is a fraction of the 1.65 million that our ROV Mrs. Darline Allen estimates.

Mary Rickert in a feeble attempt to deflect, asks Chriss Street why he didn't meet with Mrs. Darling Allen in person to discuss his concerns? Which leads a citizen in the audience to criticize Mary Rickert (see video "Mary Rickert's Friends").

For the record: It is the board's job to hold the ROV accountable in all budgetary matters.
