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.
*sowing
Oh Carp! Posting precaffienated.
*beads
bees?
Beans. Yeesh … must be new here.
“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?
pretty lousy software considering the congressional makeup.
They have all kinds of conspiracy theories for how Democrats stole the election but still let Republicans take the house and close to half of the Senate.
oh yeah how the ole stupid, incompetent, cowardly democrats are going to dominate the world with their 6d chess manuevers that will let them rule with an iron fist.
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.
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.”
Would love to watch this bint attempt to point to Serbia on a map
She probably can’t even point out the capital of Mexico
“Tiajuana? No, that’s too easy. Ensenada!”
That makes it one of the more credible conspiracy theories republiQans fall for.
Most of them are just “The Bible says margarine is alien currency - lets hate the gays” sort of batshittery
The most insidious theories are the ones with a sliver of truth behind them. Because the ones pushing them can say “Do YoUr OwN rEsEaRcH” and lazy people will find that one or two points are true and punt on checking the rest.
Like how these nutters went from “the company outsourced some of their engineering to Eastern Europe” to “the Serbian government is directly writing all their software”.
I mean, I’m all for a plausible theory. But the Qanon stuff just went koo koo bananapants from the get-go. I think initially as a joke, but then later it just was all a sad joke.
judge takes down notes for sentencing
The brain worm strikes again.
That thing behind her eyes needs an exorcism
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.
Hope she gets the full 22 years
