Tina Peters, the clerk of Mesa County, Colorado whos long been suspected of involvement in a leak of county election machine data last year, was arrested Tuesday morning.
Local outlets reported the arrest soon after. A video from Kyle Clark, a journalist with local NBC affiliate 9 News, appeared to show the arrest occurring:
Peters is a celebrated figure among believers that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. The Colorado Secretary of States office successfully sued to have Peters and a deputy, Belinda Knisley, removed from election duties last year after sensitive digital information from Mesa Countys voting machines was shared online by a prominent QAnon influencer, and in-person at Mike Lindells Cyber Symposium in Sioux Falls in August.

(22,508 posts)We have a Trumpy county clerk here too. When the pandemic started she made a big ado about wearing a mask. She raised all kinds of hell on local TV stations about having breathing problems, when in fact her coworkers said she was lying. One TV reporter asked her if she could breathe with a face shield? She really blew up at that, but she was still allowed to go maskless in this red county.
