Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters went into a secure room with a currently unknown man who took photos and video of voting machine passwords. Peters then handed the information to conspiracy theory promoter and former 8Chan/8Kun operator Ron Watkins. Watkins used video of the machines to promote Trump’s claims the 2020 election was stolen from him. He claimed the video showed a “whistleblower” from Dominion Voting Systems talking to another Dominion employee talking about how to remotely access the machines. But audio analysis of the video appears to show it’s actually Watkins and Peters talking on camera, which would mean Watkins participated in the breach of the voting machines.

Peters has a history of pro-Trump and antivaxx conspiracy theory-mongering. She posted and deleted tweets last year echoing Trump’s claims the election was rigged against him and that she had insider knowledge about how to tamper with elections. She also ignored orders last week from the Colorado Secretary of State to turn in documents, surveillance footage and equipment for the criminal investigation against her, instead choosing to fly to South Dakota to speak at Mike Lindell’s “Cyber Symposium,” the pillow company CEO’s latest botched attempt to peddle phony evidence Trump was cheated out of a second term.

Investigators say Peters entered the secure voting machine storage room in May with two other people: an as-yet unnamed employee of her office and a man Peters called “Gerard Wood,” who took the photos and videos of the passwords. Peters took Wood into the secure room during a software update of the voting machines that only authorized Clerk’s Office employees were supposed to be present for. Peters later told the Colorado Secretary of State that Wood was an employee of her office, but he wasn’t. Woods’s real identity is currently unknown.

Watkins is most infamous as the administrator of 8kun and then 8chan, the anonymous message boards where the people behind QAnon made their failed prophetic statements about Hillary Clinton and thousands of others being arrested, tried and killed by the U.S. Military led by Trump and where three mass shooters posted their manifestos and one successfully broadcasted his murder spree. Watkins is also widely believed to be behind QAnon’s posts during the last two years. He has been helping Trump-linked election fraud grifters spread disinformation since last year under his own name.

1. Lock them both up

[LymphocyteLover]

22. Indeed-- ASAP!

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. Wow.

Tina’s in trouble.

[lagomorph777]

4. Hopefully so is Ron.

[Tomconroy]

3. I believe I read that Trump won this county by a large margin.

A lot of people are making a lot of money from this grift. I wish the Times or the Post would do an in depth expose.

[Captain Zero]

5. They want info from the machines to see how to rig closer elections on them

Whatever they are accusing others of doing, they are doing themselves, as incompetently as they can.

[chowder66]

23. It sure seems like that is what is going on. nt

[dalton99a]

6. Correct. It was 62.5% Trump

and 61.7% Boebert for the House

[obamanut2012]

7. And, folks in CO seemed surprised Qbert won by so much

Hmmmmm.....

[dalton99a]

8. Yep. That woman is a criminal.

[obamanut2012]

12. She may actually do hard time for this

If they can prove what she did. Wow.

[Cryptoad]

25. Seems that those Rich

White Folk dont do much hard time....... funny how that works

[calimary]

29. Ick. Two pees in a pod.

And no, I didn’t misspell “pea” there.

[llashram]

9. hateful evil human beings

worthless, less than the penny I found on the ground yesterday...

[Hugin]

10. I don't get it.

Would someone please explain it to me like I was born this morning...

What's in it for people such as Watkins, Lindell, and Sidney Powell? Obviously, the rewards are not financial for their cray cray spree. There are kids out there more in the positive running a lemonade stand.

Is it for attention? Are they feeding an audience they think exists, but, doesn't. Playing to an audience of one FG? Who could care less.

What?

[Tomconroy]

13. Sidney Powell was doing a lot of fundraising

Since she first came on the scene. For her I think money was the motive. Lindell appears to be just nuts. Watkins: there has to be a money angle somewhere.

[Dorian Gray]

20. watkins

is a chaos agent....

he's scummy. He wants to make a ton of money. He wants power. He wants to feel important. He accused others of doing all the creepy ass things he does. Just gross.

I agree that Lindell is a lunatic (and probably drug user again). Powell is more opaque to me. Don't get what she's after.

[Grins]

17. You can make A LOT of money as a lawyer for the mob!

Just ask Trump “mentor” Roy Cohn. (You’ll have to shout, cuz’…..)

[FakeNoose]

11. Wouldn't Watkins phone photos have ID attached?

I'm not a security expert, and I only know what I read on DU.

However it's clear to me that some cellphones capture the GPS info as part of the ID signature on the photos and videos that phone takes. If Watkins' phone were to be examined, I'm wondering if investigators could determine whether he was there.

[Hortensis]

14. Googling didn't turn up anything on this. Yet? Audio analysis

can be admissible in court.

I found that earlier this month when Watkins told his subscribers on Telegram he had election fraud evidence there was nothing new to that, but a link he provided

downloaded to a website that installed iOS notification spam to his subscribers' iPhones. iOS notification spam attacks are becoming an increasingly common problem. Usually, a user will click a link and then be bombarded with pop-up notifications asking them to tap a button to proceed to the page they're trying to access. Tapping on the pop-up uploads a calendar created by the spammer to your iPhone. The calendar will then proceed to show the iPhone user a notification throughout regular intervals, typically on an hourly basis. ...

The goal of the spammer is to get the user to click a payment link included in the notification so they can be tricked into purchasing an app or a subscription that claims will remove this nonexistent virus.

The article wonders why he'd do such a thing to his own subscribers, but why would he have ever done anything to his victims? At least this is easily removed, while these days half of them are peeking out from behind closed drapes to scan the skies for brain-eating lasers.

15. Of course he was. That little icel worm. nt

[calimary]

16. Good grief these people are a fucking disease!

Worse than COVID.

It’s a nation killer. A democracy killer. We need a vaccine for THAT.

[KS Toronado]

18. We have a vaccine for that.....it's called voting

We need as many voters as possible on our side next 2 elections.

[calimary]

26. Yep! Critically important to point that out!

I hope and pray that Democrats everywhere will understand that VERY clearly and thoroughly.

[KS Toronado]

27. Guess what I stole from you?

[calimary]

28. By all means!

For some reason this makes me think of the ad slogan for a perfume years ago: “Wear it and be WONDERFUL!”

[KS Toronado]

30. I was sure you wouldn't mind.

Like minded people think alike. Just thought you'd like to know your words are impressing others.

[calimary]

32. Wow - thanks!

Humbly happy to help!

That’s just one reason among many why DU is such a great resource. It’s a forum that encourages and develops good material! For using and sharing, and SPREADING!

[jaxexpat]

19. They'd refuse that vaccine too.

[tanyev]

21. Quriouser and Quriouser.

[chowder66]

24. Lol. nt

[spanone]

31. the gqp is the enemy.

our democracy is in peril from within
