Election integrity officials in Mesa County Colorado have no, wait for it, *integrity*

Mesa County Colorado is a *very* Republican county - in 2020, it went for Cheeto by a lot, and in 2018, the clerk in question was unopposed in the general election (she defeated one challenger in the Republican primary).

Voting Data From A Colorado County Was Leaked Online. Now The Clerk Is In Hiding

It's been nearly a month since sensitive data about voting equipment in Colorado's Mesa County was posted online by conspiracy theorists eager to cast doubt on the outcome of the 2020 election.

At the center of the criminal investigation into how that information was released is county clerk Tina Peters, whose whereabouts remain unknown. She hasn't returned to work in Mesa County since the data breach was announced.

There seems to be a culture problem in her office.  From the Grand Junction (CO) Daily Sentinel -

Charges filed against Mesa County deputy clerk

To avoid being arrested and put in jail, Mesa County Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley turned herself in to Mesa County District Court today and was advised on charges of felony burglary and misdemeanor cyber crimes filed against her in relation to a personnel matter and ongoing investigations of her office.

As a result, Knisley, 66, was ordered not to enter the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder's Office while state and federal criminal investigations are ongoing into possible felony charges for breaching election security, according to her arrest warrant.

Neither of them should expect Cheeto to pay for a lawyer.
