Election official says Tina Peters would be consultant, won’t have access to election systems
Shasta County registrar Clint Curtis says convicted former Colorado clerk Tina Peters would join as a consultant without access to county election systems.
Shasta County Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis offered Tina Peters a consultant role to help run the county's 2026 elections, saying she would not have logins to county email or election systems as a consultant. Peters was convicted in 2024 of seven felonies related to the theft of voting machine software from Mesa County, Colorado, and was released in June after Governor Jared Polis commuted her sentence. Her Colorado parole conditions require her to be employed and live in the state, and she has not yet accepted the offer. Curtis was recently censured by the county Board of Supervisors following investigations into allegations of verbal abuse and made unsupported claims about 2024 mail-in ballots.
