Another arrest warrant issued for indicted Mesa County clerk Tina Peters
Grand jury indicts Mesa County clerk Tina Peters and deputy clerk in election system breach investigation
But Peters did not mention in the email that she — and fellow election denier Ron Hanks who ran for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate and lost — had not paid the cost owed to conduct a recount by the deadline. In a second request, Peters and Hanks asked the office to conduct a hand recount, but the Elections Division in the Secretary of State’s Officebased on state law and elections regulations. Peters and Hanks can submit new requests for a recount by July 26.
Dwight Shellman, the county regulation & support manager in the secretary of state’s Election Division, wrote to the clerks on Wednesday, responding to Peters’ email. “To be crystal clear, Ms. Peters did not comply with the statutory conditions for a recount of the Republican Party Secretary of State race, and there will be no recount of that race in any county, whether by machine or by hand,” he said. “If you feel obligated to respond to Ms. Peters’ early morning email, please advise her that her request is improper and that she needs to direct all communications regarding this matter to the Secretary of State’s Office.
In the arrest affidavit from the Fruita Police Department, a detective wrote that an officer contacted Bantz on Wednesday, saw the email from Peters and found that the restraining order was still active. The arrest warrant signed by the judge called for Peters’ immediate arrest and her cash-only bond was set at $1,000.
