Tina Peters is under indictment for a security breach spurred by conspiracy theories related to the 2020 presidential election.
White House aide says Trump grabbed the steering wheel of his limo and attacked a Secret Service agent when he was told he couldn’t go to the Capitol.Peters, elected in 2018 to oversee elections in Mesa County, is among several candidates across the country this year seeking to oversee elections as their state’s chief election official while denying the outcome of the 2020 election or falsely claiming that elections in the U.S. are corrupt.
Trump won Mesa County with nearly 63% of the vote in 2020. President Biden won Colorado overall with 55.4% of the state’s vote. While no evidence was provided, a copy of Mesa County’s voting system hard drive was distributed and posted online, according to attendees and state officials. Peters has said she had the authority and an obligation to make the copy but said she had no knowledge of how it came to be distributed.
Nationally, nearly two dozen Republican candidates are running to be their state’s top election official who deny the result of the 2020 presidential election, according to States United Action, a nonpartisan advocacy organization tracking the candidates.
