i know this is an extremely rare thing to find happening in the real world, but we've got some real world people being accused of some real world election-related crimes! and they're actually being accused of their crimes inside of a court of law this time, and not just inside of the parking lot of a landscaping shop or in the kangaroo court of social media!
this time it involves none other than...surprise surprise....another republican! this time one of Mike Lindell's partners-in-crime!
this actually happened in 2021 though. the rubes seem to be doubling down on their efforts to steal the elections after their last attempts to defraud their country and steal the election had failed. i guess this is the kind of shit that happens when your party can no longer win a free and fair election by votes.
this fraudster used to be a county clerk! and she recently ran in an election for a GOP leadership position. she also ran in the colorado GOP primary for Secretary of State! but i'm sure just like all of these maga trash losers, she'll blame her losses on some kind of fraud or a stolen election or whatever too.
once again the very same party of people who are screeching about all of these election-related crimes all seem to be the the ones who are actually out there comitting these types of crimes, or the ones who support them! every accusation is an admission of guilt!
Federal judge rejects Tina Peters’ attempt to halt her Mesa County criminal trial
Former county clerk’s trial on 10 counts connected to a breach of Mesa County’s election system set to begin Feb. 7
Peters has been under investigation since last summer after she allegedly facilitated a security breach of her county’s election system. Peters
has cast baseless doubt on the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and aligned herself
with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, one of the nation’s most well known 2020 election conspiracy theorists.
Candidate Tina Peters speaks during a debate for the state Republican Party leadership position sponsored by the Republican Women of Weld Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023 in a pizza restaurant in Hudson, Colo.
A federal judge Monday dismissed a lawsuit brought by former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters that sought to bar authorities from prosecuting her on charges related to a 2021 security breach of her county’s election system.
Peters, who faces trial next month on 10 counts in the alleged breach,
filed the lawsuit in November seeking to halt all local, state and federal criminal investigations and prosecutions against her. The suit named U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein as defendants.
U.S. District Judge Nina Wang granted Rubinstein’s motion to dismiss the entire case, in which Peters alleged he and others were retaliating against her and curbing her free speech rights. In doing so, Wang also dismissed Peters’ request for a preliminary injunction halting her upcoming trial.
Wang ruled that Peters failed to “offer sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the prosecution was substantially motivated by a bad faith motive or was brought to harass.” Wang also criticized the evidence presented by Peters and her attorney, former Secretary of State Scott Gessler, writing “some of the documents do not even address the factual allegations for which they are cited.”
Peters is scheduled to go to trial Feb. 7 on charges stemming from her actions
during an election software update in May 2021. A grand jury indicted her on felony and misdemeanor charges in March 2022, including attempting to influence a public official and
criminal impersonation.
Wang also ruled that Rubinstein is entitled to have his legal costs reimbursed.
After being indicted in 2022, Peters ran unsuccessfully for the GOP secretary of state nomination, losing by nearly 90,000 votes. Since then, she’s continued to promote falsehoods that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
She also ran unsuccessfully this year to be chair of the Colorado GOP.
In a separate case, Peters in April was
sentenced to home detention and community service for trying to prevent authorities from seizing an iPad she used to make a prohibited recording of a court hearing for one of her former deputies. The sentence was stayed pending an appeal. Peters
was also held in contempt of court for making the recording
and fined $1,500.
Peters posted to social media last week that her former husband recently died, and she posted links to her website seeking donations to cover her court costs for her upcoming trial.
The former Mesa County clerk is set for trial Feb. 7 on 10 charges after a grand jury indicted her for tampering with election equipment.

not only is the crackhead pillow salesmans buddy, under house arrest for playing stupid games in the courtroom, her lawsuit she filed trying to prevent herself from being charged got laughed right out of court, she lost both of her recent elections, her original bond was set at $500,000, she got caught trying to tamper with election machines, and now she has to go to trial and face all kinds of serious charges for her own criminal actions. suck on that libtards!
the second woman in the mugshot i posted is her good friend, indicted co-conspirator, and now-former deputy clerk Belinda Knisley, who was indicted for one count each of attempting to influence a public servant, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state. kinsley pretended to be an election contractor and brought along some person named gerald wood who impersonated an election worker and they were somehow able to coax someone into e able giving them a clearance badge and then they used the badge to access an election office where they demanded the workers inside to turn off the security cameras and then tina peters started fucking around with the dominion voting machines. or at least thats the gist of it. you can read more about the election crimes the two of them conspired in right here:
The Republican was indicted on 10 counts, according to prosecutors. She could be sentenced to prison if convicted.
