False election conspiracy theories permeated the Colorado GOP assembly this weekend, and some of the people who have pushed the false notions about mail ballots and the 2020 election will be on the ballot – some in the top slot – for this summer’s primary.
Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who has been indicted by a grand jury and faces several felony charges tied to allegations she helped breach the county’s election system, took home 60% of the vote to get the top line on the GOP primary ballot for the secretary of state’s race.
His strong showing at the assembly left five others off the ballot, and Hanks will face Joe O’Dea in the primary, a construction company owner who has not claimed the 2020 election was stolen, according to CPR News. Danielle Neuschwanger, who was seeking a spot on the gubernatorial primary ballot but who fell just short of the 30% threshold needed to qualify for the ballot at the assembly, questioned the integrity of the vote and criticized Burton Brown.
The assembly process is the way for candidates to make primary ballots who did not go through the petition process, in which candidates gather enough valid voter signatures to make the ballot. Brauchler said he believes if Peters and Hanks win their primaries, it would have major and negative effects on the November election for Republicans.
