The highest-profile election denier to have lost on Tuesday was Colorado’s Tina Peters, the Mesa County Clerk who was hoping to become the Republican nominee for secretary of state in a bid to become Colorado’s top election officer.
Peters was defeated by Pam Anderson, the former Jefferson County clerk. Anderson is now set to face incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold in November’s midterms.
Peters was one of a number of Trump supporters who falsely claimed the last election was rigged and hoped to be voted into office to oversee statewide policies for elections.
Peters was barred from overseeing elections in Mesa County this year after she was indicted on 10 felony and misdemeanor counts including tampering with election equipment and official misconduct.
