Tina Peters, the former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk, was taken to court in her state for trying to preserve records from the 2020 presidential election. She was sent to prison, only to be released later when an appeals court ruled her sentence was based on her speech, which is illegal.
Now she’s in line to take on a new job, as an elections official, in Shasta County, California.
Leftists in that state are erupting in rage, demanding she be in prison, not in a government office.
In Colorado, leftist prosecutors lined up charges against her for apparently giving someone access to government records. Of course, the state’s Democrat secretary of state, Jena Griswold, did essentially the same thing, posting election systems passwords online, and was given a pass by prosecutors.
Peters, a Gold Star mother, became a favorite of Donald Trump who applied pressure to Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, whose all-Democrat state Supreme Court tried to take Trump off the 2024 ballot, and the governor effectuated Peters’ release after an appeals court ruled her prison term was unconstitutional.
Now a report at the Hill confirms Peters has been offered the role as assistant registrar of voters for Shasta County, in northern California.
“In an appearance on ‘The Northstate Breakdown,’ Clint Curtis, a Shasta County clerk and registrar of voters, stated that he planned to hire Peters to replace Brent Turner, his top deputy, who has been on medical leave,” the report said.
Curits said, “He [Turner] got sick on me. He’s on there until Sept. 4, at that point I have decided who I’m going to pull in for the assistant role. That will be Tina Peters.”
