Colorado Sues to Strip Mike Lindell Ally Tina Peters of Election Authority
Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has filed suit to remove Republican Tina Peters, an ally of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, as the top elections official in Mesa County.
Griswold filed the lawsuit on Thursday, seeking to strip County Clerk Peters of her powers administering elections in Mesa County. Responsibility for the county's elections would be reassigned to two Republicans, former Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams and Mesa County Treasurer Sheila Reiner, Peters' predecessor as county clerk. Griswold said the move was necessary because Peters "is not fit to serve" in the role during elections this November.
"My priority is ensuring that the voters of Mesa County have accessible and secure elections," Griswold said in a statement. "With the quickly approaching election, I am taking action to ensure that the county's election office can provide great elections for Mesa voters. As Secretary of State, I will continue to provide the support and oversight needed to ensure the integrity of Colorado's elections."
Griswold alleges that surveillance cameras monitoring Mesa County's voting machines were intentionally shut down by Peters or someone working for her on May 25. During the time that the cameras were turned off, Peters allegedly allowed a person named "Gerald Wood" to copy data from and potentially tamper with the machines.
