DENVER, CO (KRDO)–Republican candidate for office Tina Peters has been indicted for “election equipment tampering and official misconduct.”
A little more than 24 hours after Democrats in the Colorado Senate unveiled Senate Bill 22-153, Colorado Republicans are firing back.
The bill would prohibit anyone convicted of an election-related offense from being an elected official.
It would also require an electronic key card login to access voting systems, 24-hour video surveillance of voting sites, and would ban election officials from knowingly spreading misinformation.
Last week, Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters was indicted on 10 counts connected to the investigation into “election equipment tampering and official misconduct.” Peters turned herself into the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office and appeared before a judge, where she surrendered her passport and was told she was not allowed to leave Colorado. She has since bonded out of jail.
Peters is also running to be Colorado Secretary of State. Read more.
