Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters says she has not accepted a formal role with California's Shasta County elections office.
Tina Peters, convicted of seven felonies related to taking voting machine software from Mesa County, backed away from a formal assistant registrar role in Shasta County after backlash from county supervisors and California Democrats. Registrar of voters Clint Curtis had proposed hiring her as an outside consultant without access to sensitive election systems. Peters reiterated claims that electronic voting machines are untrustworthy, though CISA notes nearly 98% of Americans vote on machines with paper backups.
