Conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell said to be hiding Colorado clerk who reportedly leaked election data to ‘Q’

Mesa County clerk Tina Peters is under investigation by the FBI for allegedly leaking voting machine passwords to a well known conspiracy theorist is reportedly hiding out in a safe house owned by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

A Colorado election official who's a fervent supporter of Trump's Big Lie is now being accused of compromising her county’s voting machines and allowing information to be leaked to one of QAnon’s biggest promoters, who shared it to the world this week.

In May, Tina Peters, county clerk in Mesa, Colorado, allegedly ordered county officials to turn off surveillance cameras that were monitoring election equipment.

Peters then allowed someone to steal sensitive election data, as well as film a Dominion Voting Systems Corp. employee updating the election system software, according to Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold.

When Griswold found out about the leak earlier this week, she sent officials to Peters’ office on Tuesday to find out what, exactly, was going on. Peters was nowhere to be found, but hours later she turned up on stage at MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s bogus Cyber Symposium conference, where QAnon promoter and 8chan administrator Ron Watkins shared the very data stolen from Mesa County with the entire world.

“I think it is extremely concerning that an elections’ official from the state of Colorado is actively working to undermine confidence and spread disinformation about our award-winning voting system,” Secretary of State Jena Griswold told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.

"To be clear, the Mesa County Clerk allowed a security breach, and by all evidence at this point, assisted it," she said.

Now Griswold has ordered that the 40 pieces of election equipment in Mesa County can no longer be used for upcoming elections as the chain of custody had been broken. It means that taxpayers will now be forced to pay to replace those machines, though Griswold couldn’t say Thursday how much that would cost.
