Mesa County Clerk Tina Peter Loses Race for Colorado Secretary of State
Tina PetersThe Colorado county secretary, who promoted election conspiracy theories and was later prosecuted for allegedly violating her own voting machine, lost her preliminary bid to become secretary of state.
And then she did exactly what you’d expect: She denied she had lost, cried out cheating, and vowed to keep fighting.
“It’s not over yet,” Peters told supporters at her watch party, while she was 15 points behind the real winner Pam Anderson, a former Jefferson County clerk.
Peters’ loss will be a blow to a host of her election deniers, including prominent supporter Mike Lindell, who is clinging to the baseless view that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Now they have a new cause.
“Biggest cheat!!! We caught them!!! ” Lindell frantically texted The Daily Beast on Tuesday night, referring to the Peters race. “We caught them in their fraud!!! Prison for Dominate! “
The incident occurred three months after Peters was indicted by a grand jury on 10 misdemeanors and felonies stemming from her role in violating voting machines in Mesa after the 2020 election.
