A Colorado election clerk who was indicted on 10 criminal counts has said that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) "encouraged" her to commit the alleged crimes.
In a report on Sunday, The New York Timesrecounted the "strange tale" of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who has fueled right-wing conspiracy theories claiming the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
"Ms. Peters was indicted on 10 criminal counts related to the effort to copy voting equipment software, including attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, identity theft and first-degree official misconduct," the report explained.
On Friday, Peters deflected blame to Boebert, according to the report.
She said Boebert "encouraged me to go forward with the imaging" of voting machines.
But the lawmaker's spokesperson insisted that Peters' claim was false.
Boebert has previously released a statement in support of Peters.
"Many of the constituents I represent have expressed concern about the ongoing investigation into Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters," Boebert said in 2021. "As many of you know, I have been a vocal opponent of the overreach and targeted nature of the FBI's activities on a national level."

Isn't Peters the batshit crazy bitch the pillow moron was aiding and abetting?
yup. she has a local teabag trumpster lawyer representing her that thinks the election was stolen.
Boebert is a complete clown , but the County Clerk has to face the music on her own.
What's in the water over there?
fracking chemicals. fortunately it's mostly trumpsters drinking it.
If I were Ms. Peters I certainly wouldn't want Boebert's support. Last I read she has people linin gup to oust her at the primaries.
peter's campaign manager now is the same one blowbert used in her run for congress in 2020.
These are the same people claiming election fraud and spreading conspiracy theories, fking losers.
typical trumpster projection.
Poor Tina and those 'awful' cops didn't even kneel on her wrists.
I wonder if mike lindel gave her the "crack pipe" while she was in his texas safe house.
One dingbat encouraging another, perfect.
it's a teabag soap opera on that side of the state.
My guy is having to have a race this time. He was swept in back in the tea party days. For the first time he has a challenger, a more trumper. He hasn't had to work this hard in years.
campaigning is the only work trumpsters do. they coast in office by voting the party line. no thinking involved, just running around stuffing lobbyist money in their pockets for 2 years.
