FBI searches Mesa County clerk Tina Peters’ home in election security breach investigation
November 17, 2021



“large teams of heavily armed federal agents, using a battering ram to break down doors, raided the homes of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and several of her friends and colleagues, mostly elderly women in their mid 60s.”

However, District Attorney Dan Rubinstein and Attorney General Phil Weiser refuted the claim that the searches involved a significant use of force and emphasized that they were legally authorized by a judge.

“At no time was force used on Ms. Peters or her home. Ms. Peters was allowed to move around her home and fix herself breakfast while agents gathered items before departing,.” said a joint statement from their offices.

“My job is to listen to the people that I serve,” she said. “I don't care if you're Democrat, Republican, Unaffiliated, Libertarian, Green Party. I don't care what affiliation you are. Everyone should be concerned. If there is something going on with these voting systems and tabulators, everyone should be.”

Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters arrested after allegedly recording court hearing
February 8, 2022


UPDATED at 8:45 a.m., Feb. 10: Mesa County's Republican clerk and recorder was charged Wednesday with obstructing an officer after resisting efforts to search her iPad after a warrant was issued. Read our latest report about Peters' latest legal troubles.

Our original story follows below.

Mesa county’s Republican clerk and recorder, Tina Peters, who is currently being investigated by a grand jury for election tampering and misconduct, was arrested on unrelated charges Tuesday in Grand Junction.

The incident occurred as police were trying to carry out a search warrant to seize Peters’ iPad to determine whether she illegally recorded a criminal court hearing Monday.

Mesa County also recently completed a hand count of the 2021 election and stands by the accuracy of the results. The county found that the hand tally varied from the machine count by less than a tenth of a percent.

Peters is running for reelection in the fall. The state has also filed a lawsuit to ban her from overseeing the 2022 election.




A judge previously barred her from overseeing last year's election.
