Last Week She Was Arrested. Now She's Running for Secretary of State.

Tina Peters, the top election official in Mesa County, Colorado, has a lot on her plate.

She’s subject to ongoing federal and state criminal investigations—​​including from a local grand jury—over her alleged tampering with election machines last year, as well as allegations of wire fraud and campaign finance violations.

And just last week she was arrested on charges of obstructing a government operation after being captured on camera attempting to kick a police officer who was trying to get hold of an iPad Peters had allegedly used to illegally record a court proceeding.

Despite all that, the pro-Trump, election conspiracy-spreading official has decided that now is the perfect time to run for secretary of state in Colorado.

1. Jena Griswold is the current democratic SOS of CO & she's doing a great job.

Last week, at some rally where Peters showed up, one man suggested that Griswold should be hung, hung because of her part in stealing the 2020 election. They are getting very comfortable suggesting that democrats should be killed. IMO, part of this is the result of it appearing that nothing is being done about Jan. 6 & the criminality of Donald Trump.

The results from Pew show that 43 percent of respondents view Trump as being primarily responsible for the attack, a drop from 52 percent last year. The surveys were taken shortly after the attack and its anniversary.

The decrease in those who put the onus on Trump was seen among both Democrats and Republicans.

The number of Republicans who say Trump bears no responsibility at all for the attack grew from 46 percent to 57 percent over the last year, while the share of Democrats who see Trump as having "a lot" of responsibility for the attack dropped from 81 percent to 70 percent.

This trend will continue, count on it.

2. Yes, Jena Griswold is doing a great job.

She is a woman who knows no fear and I admire her greatly. Definitely in the right spot at the right time.

3. More like the next iteration of "lock her up"

After you advocate jailing someone, you advocate killing them. And somehow, they call that "legitimate political discourse".

4. The woman has all of the requirements to be a Republican leader.

5. She wants campaign funds. That's what Boebert did to

pay debts, etc.
