Trump-backing Colorado county clerks broke into voting machines to 'prove' fraud

In the 2020 U.S. presidental election, Colorado went pretty comfortably to Joe Biden, who received nearly half a million more votes than Donald Trump...or so they would have you believe. Last year, the Republican county clerk for Mesa County, Tina Peters, leaked the voting machine passwords to online in an attempt to reveal what she falsely believed was massive voter fraud — and it turns out she wasn’t alone.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that a second Trump-backing county clerk in Colorado not only bought in to the stolen election conspiracy theory, but also tampered with his county’s voting machines in order to prove it. Dallas Schroeder, the Elbert County clerk, made copies of the hard drives containing voting data from the Dominion Voting System machines used during the 2020 election, according to 9 News in Denver.
