FBI Raids Home of Colorado County Clerk In Election Data Breach Investigation


It’s been a busy trip to Colorado for the FBI. As reported earlier, Rep. Lauren Boebert’s former campaign manager’s home was raided by the Bureau. But they also had time to swing by for a raid at the Mesa County Clerk’s house as well in connection with the same investigation.
ColoradoPolitics.com is reporting the FBI carried out a court-ordered search of Tina Peters’ home early Tuesday morning, leaving her “terrified,” Peters said Tuesday night in an appearance on “Lindell TV”, an online channel run by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Trump supporter and proponent of discredited claims the 2020 election was stolen.

Hearing on felony/misdemeanor charges against @MesaCountyClerk deputy delayed again until Jan. 10, after election probe is complete, prosecutor-speak for more charges could come soon. Against whom? Stay tuned. #MesaCounty #copolitics https://t.co/LcntN6QemK

As reported by Colorado Politics, Peters is a Republican serving her first term as the county’s chief elections official who was prohibited last month by a Mesa County judge from overseeing the election in a ruling on a lawsuit filed by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. Griswold alleges Peters and her deputy were involved in an election security breach when they allowed an unauthorized person to participate in a routine update of the county voting system software and then allegedly lied about it as part of a scheme to expose alleged election irregularities.
NEW: “…one of the homes raided by law enforcement authorities belongs to Sherronna Bishop, a Garfield County resident and former campaign manager for U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert.” https://t.co/0CfZ8vXsZW

Griswold ordered Mesa County to replace its voting equipment in August after system passwords showed up in a video posted to right-wing websites. Days later, exact digital copies of the county’s election system hard drive were posted online after Griswold’s staff discovered that 24-hour video surveillance of the election equipment had been turned off, Colorado Politics reports.

Peters is fully immersed in the QAnon conspiracy cult and maintains connections with several high-profile Trump cronies besides Lindell.
A day after the FBI searched Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters' home while tracking an election security breach, state GOP Chair @ColoradoKbb is stressing election integrity (in Aurora). It's been 97 days since we first asked the @ColoGOP if Peters should stay in office. No response. https://t.co/tHjmxGDk6t
