GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — A new arrest warrant was issued Thursday for Colorado’s election-denying clerk, less than a week after the embattled official convinced a judge not to send her back to jail for improperly traveling out of state while awaiting trial on felony charges.
The warrant was issued for Tina Peters’ arrest after authorities say she violated another term of her $25,000 bail - a prohibition on contacting workers at the Mesa County elections office, the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reported.
Peters is under indictment in a break-in of the county’s election system to search for evidence of former President Donald Trump’s election conspiracy theories.
