Convicted MAGA Election Denier Tina Peters Declines Job in California Amid Pressure From Gov. Gavin Newsom
Peters said she is traveling nationwide to promote election security and would not take the part-time consulting job, Curtis said.
- On Tuesday, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters declined a consultant position with the Shasta County Elections Office, Shasta County Registrar Clint Curtis confirmed, saying Peters is traveling nationwide promoting election integrity advocacy.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom intensified the situation Monday, writing on social media that he would direct state corrections officials to "make every effort" to block Peters' parole transfer to California, calling her "a convicted MAGA election tamperer."
- Peters was convicted in 2024 on multiple felony counts for helping breach Mesa County's voting machines alongside an associate of MyPillow founder Mike Lindell; Colorado Governor Jared Polis commuted her nine-year sentence, and she was released June 1 after serving less than a quarter of it.
- Shasta County Assistant Registrar Brent Turner confirmed his position was never vacant because he had not quit; Turner, on medical leave, objected to Curtis discussing his health publicly, while federal lawmakers Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla urged California's secretary of state to prevent Peters from accessing voter information.
- Peters stated her concerns extend to all 3,144 counties in America, claiming she remains committed to "lawful, transparent election integrity efforts" and continues advocating to end reliance on electronic voting systems, despite courts repeatedly rejecting her voting machine fraud claims.
