In Mesa County Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters, a conservative Republican, Lauren Boebert bestie and MyPillow Guy devotee, will not be allowed to supervise this fall's elections.
According to the Colorado Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, Peters violated vote rules by allowing a private citizen to observe a software update to the county's Dominion voting machines. The unauthorized person obtained hard drive images and the passwords needed to access the systems and posted them on the Internet. Peters later lied to the SOS, claiming the unauthorized person was an employee.
The SOS has now decertified Mesa county's voting equipment and directed the county either replace it all or find a way to re-certify the current gear.
The good news is no election results are in question as a result of this spectacularly stupid move by Clerk Peters, who's now under criminal investigation by Mesa county law enforcement.
The bad news is the county is on the hook for significant capital funds to replace the vote counting equipment before November.
The sad news Peters still has her job.
