NEW: Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is likely headed to jail after a Mesa County judge issued a warrant for her arrest Thursday afternoon for violating a protection order and her bond conditions by contacting the designated election official in Mesa County.
DENVER – Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters is likely headed to jail after a Mesa County judge issued a warrant for her arrest Thursday afternoon for violating a protection order and her bond conditions by contacting the designated election official in Mesa County this week.
The affidavit says the email from Peters, which was also sent to other counties, said, “I am, as a candidate with standing, going forward with that request in selected counties,” which cannot be done according to state statute and elections rules. Peters, 66, narrowly avoided being arrested for violating her bond conditions last week, when Mesa County District Court Judge Matthew David Barrett agreed to quash a warrant for her arrest after admonishing her and her attorneys in a hearing last Friday.
Instead, she sent a letter to the Secretary of State’s Office laden with falsehoods, objecting to the manner in which state statute and elections rules require recounts to be done. The Colorado County Clerks Association also discussed the emails Peters had sent about the hand recount requests sent to the various counties.
