Indicted Election Denier Tina Peters Loses Her Own Election--and Denies She Lost

Tina Peters, the Colorado county clerk who flogged election conspiracy theories and was then indicted for allegedly breaching her own voting machines, lost her primary bid to become the secretary of state.

And then she did exactly what you would expect: She denied she lost, cried fraud, and vowed to keep fighting.

“It’s not over,” Peters reportedly told supporters at her watch party, while she was 15 points behind the actual winner, Pam Anderson, a former Jefferson County clerk.

Peters’ loss will be a blow to a cast of her fellow election deniers, including prominent backer Mike Lindell, who are clinging to the baseless notion that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.

Now they have a new cause.

“Biggest fraud!!! We caught them!!!” Lindell frantically texted The Daily Beast late on Tuesday night, referring to the Peters race. “We caught them in their fraud!!! Prison for Dominion!”

Need a new routine. Even their own supporters are sick of it, as reported by Newsweek yesterday. Hollywood holds them in contempt, so I don’t see much of a new schtick coming their way.

In her case, there are no chocolates.

Even the box is imaginary.

CPR News: A former Jefferson County clerk and recorder and past director of the Colorado County Clerks Association is running to unseat Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold.

Republican Pam Anderson says she hopes to make the office less political and focus on reassuring voters of all political stripes that Colorado’s election system is safe and secure.

“Now is the time to reinstill trust and move away from the political rhetoric,” Anderson told CPR News. “I think we have the best system in the country.”

Anderson believes that the 2020 general election outcome was accurate and fair, despite other members of her party questioning the results. She currently runs an election consulting company.

Good for them.
