In yet another reports on the bottomless hypocrisy of Republicans, the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports Mesa County, Colorado GOP Chairman Kevin McCarney last week said that County Clerk Tina Peters, who is currently under a 13 count indictment for tampering with Dominion Voting Systems equipment in a moronic attempted to prove they were vulnerable to hacking, had last year asked McCarney to make sure there were no Republican primary challengers for her current office, even as she ran an ultimately failed primary bid for Colorado Secretary of State.
The Daily Sentinel’s article is maddeningly short on specifics, such as the context in which McCarney shared this conversation, if anyone else was actually trying to run, and if there’s any sort of rule with the state or county GOP that would have been broken by allowing Peters to run in two separate primary elections at once – or even if the Mesa County Clerk primary was on the same say as the Colorado Secretary of State primary. It’s not clear why it’s so short, but maybe they’re just sick of covering that crazy asshole and want her to go to prison already.
