| Description | Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold decided Monday that Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters cannot be trusted to oversee the election in November and is working to find a replacement.
Griswold, a Democrat, doesn’t have the ability to remove Peters, a Republican, from office. But she can bar any county clerk from overseeing an election if she feels they cannot carry out their duties.
The decision, which is expected to be formalized in the coming days, comes as Peters is under investigation for her involvement in the leak of images containing Mesa County elections system passwords. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office also said Monday that copies of Mesa County election equipment hard drives were publicly posted. |
