   Wayne Williams, former secretary of state, would be named new head of elections   
   in Mesa County

   Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has filed a lawsuit as part of an   
   effort to prevent the Mesa County clerk and recorder from maintaining her   
   authority over elections.   
      
   The lawsuit was filed Monday in state district court in Mesa County. The   
   lawsuit   
   seeks to remove Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters as the designated   
   election official.   
      
   “My priority is ensuring that the voters of Mesa County have accessible and   
   secure elections. With the quickly approaching election, I am taking action to   
   ensure that the county’s election office can provide great elections for Mesa   
   voters,” Griswold said in a statement. Peters “is not fit to serve” as   
   the   
   designated election official, she said.   
      
   Peters is accused by Griswold of participating in activity that led to the   
   release of election-system hard drive images and passwords to election-fraud   
   conspiracy theorists, including Ron Watkins, a leading QAnon figure.   
      
   The reported breach is the subject of an investigation by the secretary of   
   state, as well as separate criminal probes by 21st Judicial District Attorney   
   Dan Rubinstein and the FBI. No criminal charges have yet been filed against   
   Peters in connection with the incident.   
      
   Peters, a Republican adherent of debunked claims that the November election was   
   fraudulent, has not cooperated with investigators from the secretary of   
   state’s   
   office, and she’s reportedly out of the state “in hiding” and under the   
   protection of MyPillow CEO and election conspiracist Mike Lindell. She was a   
   featured speaker at an election fraud “Cyber Symposium” in South Dakota   
   hosted   
   by Lindell from Aug. 10 through Aug. 12, when state investigators traveled to   
   her office in Grand Junction to inspect election equipment, which Griswold   
   determined was compromised and ordered decertified.
