Colorado Republicans reject 3 election deniers for statewide office

[onthedarkside]

 

(CNN)  On the same day a former aide to President Donald Trump's chief of staff testified about how Trump had wanted to join the throngs of his supporters at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Republicans in Colorado on Tuesday rejected three election deniers running for statewide office.

 

Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who pleaded not guilty after being indicted earlier this year on 10 counts related to voting machine tampering allegations, lost the GOP nomination to take on Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold in November. Pam Anderson, a former Jefferson County clerk, will win the Republican nomination, CNN projects.

 

In Colorado's GOP Senate primary, voters rejected state Rep. Ron Hanks, who showed up at the Capitol on January 6 and, though he has said he did not enter the building, has gone on to spread false claims and debunked theories about voter fraud. Businessman Joe O'Dea will win the nomination to face Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, CNN projects.

 

And in the state's GOP governor primary, Greg Lopez, the former mayor of Parker, outside of Denver, lost to Heidi Ganahl, a member of the University of Colorado Board of Regents, CNN projects.

Tina Peters Blames Election Fraud for Finishing 3rd in Colorado Primary 

Mesa County, Colorado, Clerk Tina Peters, who was indicted in March on multiple charges related to a breach in her county's election system, blamed voter fraud for her third-place finish in Tuesday's Republican primary for Colorado secretary of state.

Peters, who received 28.3 percent of the vote finished third behind winner Pam Anderson, who had 43 percent, and Mike O'Donnell, who finished with 28.5 percent, according to results reported by the Associated Press.

Peters' defeat was somewhat of a surprise as she received significant support from the Colorado Republican Party Assembly and Convention, which backed her with 60 percent of the vote in April.
