MAGA election official immediately spews conspiracies after conviction
Election-denying felon Tina Peters complained about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”
Hours after being convicted of tampering with voting machines in Colorado in the name of Donald Trump, former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters griped that the outcome was a “sad day for our nation and the world” while continuing to spout false election-related conspiracy theories about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”
Peters was found guilty Monday on seven of ten charges after she granted unauthorized individuals access to county voting machines in order to transfer data to Trump allies. Peters faces up to 22 years in prison.
Later in the day, Peters responded to her newfound status as a felon by posting Bible quotes and spreading baseless claims about election fraud.
I feel like a lot of these people are unprepared for the civil war they claim to want
When you live your whole life in a cushy environment with more competent people than you making sure that the lights stay on and the food keeps coming, it’s easy to have this weird fantasy that you are God’s chosen person and you can wander around believing and doing whatever you want. Just looking at this woman’s face, though, I feel like she would be the first to abandon her convictions and say yes judge I’ll do whatever you want once the cell door swings closed for real. Maybe I am wrong but that is the feeling I get from looking at her.
You’re probably right. But the MAGAsphere is going to wring a few more clicks out of her before she’s discarded. And she can’t wait to help them do it.
These people have never killed a chicken let alone a person
This is more for the article linked in the body
Tina Peters’ team claimed it was “physically impossible” for Mesa County clerks to upload certain batches of 2020 election ballots so quickly. The cameras showed otherwise.
Don't we all have "that one person" at the office? lol The one who's like "it's physically impossible" to not be terrible at your job while evidence shows everyone else not being terrible at their jobs?
“Look, Karen, just because it takes you 5 minutes to remember how to check your emails doesn’t mean that it takes all of us that long.”
Yeah and its gotten much worse after covid.
They are sowing seeds of chaos before the election at every opportunity. A reasonable judge, seeing no remorse can give a longer sentence.
Edit: Sowing! GArr!
They are sowing seeds of chaos before the election at every opportunity.
That's an understatement! They are -- in their own words -- "recruiting an army of 100,000" delusional election-fraud muppets just like this bitch.
She'll never want for anything if she isn't imprisoned. She will be a conservative darling doing talk circuits.

I don't get the impression that there's a long shelf life for those folks. "Joe the Plumber" rose to conservative fame even without committing a felony. After the right fell in love with him for his 15 minutes, he had a "record deal", co-wrote a book, and was also hired as a junior reporter for the right wing Pajamas Media (whatever that is) and 4 years later he's working at a Jeep factory in Toledo source
"Basically" in Serbia? What does that even mean? Is the server on the border line with Bulgaria, but over 50% is on the Serbian side?
The people she's talking to are accustomed to rationalizing Trump's statements which range from purposely ambiguous to utter nonsense. None of her audience is going to demand clarity or focus of her.
The way it was likely meant to be perceived was, they don't look like us, talk like us, or think like us.
It's racism, nationalism, and regular old stupidly basically.
It's actually hooked up to the Iron Gate hydro plant, so it's half Romanian.
It is basically in Serbia but once in a while Putin takes it to Moscow to play tetris on it
That's going to work well at sentencing.
The software is in Serbia? Lol
The "Serbia" thing was news to me, too. It turns out Dominion has an office in Serbia. That's it. That's the sliver of factual basis for the new conspiracy theory.
Leaf posted a Google Drive with thousands of pages of internal Dominion documents that had been provided as discovery in Byrne’s lawsuit. Some showed that top officials at Dominion had communicated with employees in one of its back offices in Belgrade, Serbia, near the time of the election — an otherwise innocuous fact that, according to Leaf, indicated that “Serbian military criminals” were “running our elections.”
judge takes down notes for sentencing
The brain worm strikes again.
Hope she gets the full 22 years
That thing behind her eyes needs an exorcism
No remorse. Throw away the key your honor.
But Serbia is a Russian ally.
Why would Russia stop the party of letting Russia do whatever it wants?
Woah! Watch it there, your logic is infringing on my freedom and beliefs.
It is crazy that you have electronic voting machines in the US, you're just waiting for it to be hacked aren't you?
Pencil and paper folks, much more secure 👍
Yeah, but not by much. I remember reports of garbage bags full of D ballots being found in the dumpsters at voting sites in rural areas during the Bush II years. I don't ever remember any investigations about it.
Yeah you still
notneed a robust auditing system with multiple layers of oversight, and oh, ya know, a federal electoral commission that directly oversees every level.Also the fact voting rules are different per state for a federal election is insane.
Being able to throw out votes should be harder in physical form, because you actually need to transport physical things.
Hack a voting machine? Much more silent.
Edit: typos
I saw a photo of her from an article yesterday and felt a bit bad because I'd immediately thought - she has active bitch face.
I told myself I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but thankfully, her actions corroborate my first impressions.
Unopened book correctly judged.
sad day for our nation 😂😂 and the world!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
