Political Prisoners in Colorado

Yes, that is what it amounts to for the clerk and her assistant in Mesa County. The local district attorney got a grand jury to indict both of these public servants with a long list of felony charges because they have been doing their best to protect the election records from the 2020 election. They were arrested and put in jail this past week.

I have followed the situation in Mesa county quite closely and I am extremely frustrated with the political witch hunt that has been instigated by far too many elected officials, on both sides of the aisle. As an advocate for election integrity I see very little integrity coming from those who assure us that there is nothing to be concerned about, but then refuse to allow any serious investigation into the many irregularities that have occurred here in Colorado, and across the nation.

The only way we will get past the current distrust of our election systems is to prove their veracity, or effect the changes necessary to make them trustworthy. To deny this obvious problem is to become a part of the problem.

The charges, the bail that was set, and all of the other things that they have thrown against Tina and her supporters for many months are way out of proportion. This is political retribution in its ugliest form. If anyone thinks these heavy handed (and flimsy) charges will settle the issue, they are very mistaken. Tina and her supporters are now more committed than ever to fix the election corruption that is becoming more evident with every action the system takes against those who are genuinely trying to clean up our elections.

I am sure I will be reporting on further developments in this unwarranted political attack of a candidate for Secretary of State, but for now read Tina’s response on her website here.
