Polis Fires Two Clemency Board Members After Tina Peters Vote Becomes Public

By Kevin Killough | Just the News Peters, a former clerk of Mesa County, was sentenced to nine years in prison after she was convicted in 2024 of tampering with voting machines in an attempt to show that the 2020 presidential election was gamed to favor Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis fired two members of the state's clemency board after they disclosed the board's recommendation to the governor against commuting the prison sentence of Tina Peters.  Peters, a former clerk of Mesa County, was sentenced to nine years in prison after she was convicted in 2024 of tampering with voting machines in an attempt to show that the 2020 presidential election was gamed to favor Democratic candidate Joe Biden.  Clemency board members Hanna...

From Kazakhstan to Colorado: Secretary of State candidate James Wiley’s plan to scrap electronic voting machines

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice James Wiley was 7 on Election Night 2000. He remembers the decorations from his birthday staying up for two more weeks while the country waited to find out who had won. He didn’t understand hanging chads or voting machines. At the time, he was living in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where his missionary family had been since he was three months old. What stuck with him from those years wasn’t the mechanics of elections. It was how power operated. He’s 32 and running for Colorado Secretary of State as a Republican, after years working on election cases and a stint as executive director of the Libertarian Party.  What he’s saying on the campaign trail isn’t new for him. The push to get rid of electronic voting machines and move to hand-cou...

Tina Peters’ attorney presses Governor Polis and Secretary Griswold to eliminate computer voting machines

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Attorney John Case, who represents former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, has sent an open letter to Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and Secretary of State Jena Griswold urging the state to immediately discontinue electronic voting systems and return to in-person, hand-counted paper ballots. Case’s letter, dated October 21, outlines a series of concerns about the Dominion voting software used in 60 counties. It cites sworn testimony from two former Venezuelan election insiders who claim Dominion’s systems share code and design elements with Smartmatic software previously used in Venezuela—software the witnesses allege was developed to ensure predetermined outcomes. According to the letter, those sworn statements were part of federal court filings in...

The math doesn’t lie: America’s election system is broken—and the regime desperately wants it that way

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice America is being held hostage - not by a foreign power, not by a virus, not by some spontaneous national confusion. We are being held hostage by a corrupt, coordinated regime that seized the machinery of government, media, and elections in order to protect its own power and suppress anyone who threatens it. President Trump’s effort to eliminate mail-in ballots and electronic voting machines is not just about election integrity. It is about breaking the stranglehold of a panicked ruling class whose crimes are catching up to them. This regime will do anything to maintain control. It has to. Because if they lose power, they lose protection. And if they lose protection, the entire house of cards collapses. Statistical Impossibili...

Mail-in ballots on notice: President Trump moves to restore election integrity

By Capt. Seth Keshel | Substack Everything you need to know about a move that, if successful, would transform all we’ve come to learn about American elections in the modern era. Monday morning started off with a bang, as President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to tell us how he really feels about mail-in voting, and what he wants to do about it: Here are the most important segments of his long message: · Looking to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines (presumably the entire electronic elections infrastructure) · Wanting to install a sophisticated paper balloting system that must be hand counted · Demands timely election results · Mail-in voting enables fraud and lengthy delays used to manipulate results · Executive Order coming soon – intended to c...

“They didn’t think I had it”: Tina Peters on evidence, betrayal and faith behind bars

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice In a jailhouse visit marked by resilience, revelation and restrained emotion, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters offered a window into the chapter of her life that has largely unfolded behind bars.  For two-and-a-half hours on May 18, we sat across from each other in a controlled visitation room. No pens or paper were allowed, so what follows is drawn from a memory still sharp with immediacy, and a recorded voice memo I made in my truck just moments after we said goodbye. Peters wore standard prison-issued clothing and a DOC patch with her name and inmate number sewn on. I bought her a cappuccino from the vending machine and a Butterfinger, which I had to unwrap and place on a paper plate before handing it to her across the table. She ...
