Who is Tina Peters and why is she controversial?
Diese Frau ist eine Verschwörungstheoristin. Und ich weiß nicht, ob sie glaubt, dass die Erde flach ist oder was auch immer. Aber es gibt eine Verschwörung, die sie für eine lange Zeit in Gefängnis bringen wird. Lass mich das erklären. Seine Name ist Tina und sie ist ein Städtebürgermeister und die Person, die sicher macht, dass jede Wahl in ihrem Städte betroffen ist während einer Wahl.
What led Tina Peters to interfere with the 2020 election?
Und eines Tages passiert die 2020-Präsidentie-Wahl. Und leider für Tina ist ihr Lieblingskandidat nicht gewonnen. Also, weil sie ein Konspiratestheorist ist, beginnt sie zu denken, dass die Wahl übernommen wurde. Und sie ist überzeugt, dass es eine Art Deep-State-Konspiratie ist. Also, anstatt ihre Widersprüche an die Stadtanwältin zu informieren, kommt Tina mit einem schadigen Plan dazu, die Votermaschinen in ihrer Stadt zu brechen, um ihre Konspiration zu beurteilen. Aber sie kann nicht einfach in diese Maschinen reinkommen. Es gibt alle Art von Eingriffen und Bedingungen und jemand mit den Passwörtern muss dort in Person sein, um es zu funktionieren.
How did Tina Peters execute her plan to access voting machines?
Nun, es gibt einen IT-Konsultanten, der in dieses Schema gedrängt wurde und wir nennen ihn IT-Guy. Und er hat Zugang zu den Maschinen, aber wir kommen zurück zu IT-Guy. So anyway, Tina really wants to get into these voting machines. And one day, she gets a hold of IT Guy's security badge. And she gives that badge to another dude. A dude we'll call Conspiracy Turd. And so then, Tina, Conspiracy Turd, and the deputy clerk, this woman, Belinda, they all three go to the election offices and Conspiracy Turd uses the security badge that they took from IT Guy and he pretends to be there on official government business. And they use that badge to access the passwords. And suddenly they have access to the election systems hard drive.
So they get some screenshots of the data and they copy everything onto an external drive. And by the way, all of this is very illegal because it's election tampering. But then allegedly conspiracy turd takes all this voting system data and he gives it to a bunch of other conspiracy turds. Und dann, ein paar Monate später, erscheinen einige dieser Voting-Systemdaten auf der Internetseite. Passwörter, Videos, Bilder, um die ganze Welt zu sehen. Nun, offensichtlich sind Voting-Maschinen-Daten Informationen, die nicht öffentlich sein sollten. Ein großer Grund dafür ist, dass die Leute diese Informationen nutzen können, um dann die Voting-Maschinen zu hacken. So this is a very big deal.
What were the consequences of the election data breach?
And this sensitive information is now on the internet and pretty quickly someone alerts the Secretary of State of Colorado. So then the next day, boom, the district attorney's team goes to Tina's office to investigate and they of course find signs of a security breach. And then, bam, the Secretary of State suspends Tina's position as County Clerk. Meanwhile, the Deputy Clerk, Belinda, she's also suspended and barred from going into the office. But Belinda sneaks back in to, like, print some documents or something, and boom, she gets caught and arrested. Here's her mugshot. So now, Tina and Belinda are officially barred from supervising any elections because they knowingly took voting machine data and gave it to a bunch of conspiracy theorists. But here's where the story gets out of control. A few months later, Belinda goes to trial and Tina shows up to support her. And while Tina's sitting in court, she pulls out her iPad and she starts recording.
How did Tina Peters handle legal consequences?
You can see her with the iPad here, there she is, and there's the iPad. Now, you're not allowed to video record a court proceeding, especially when they specifically tell you not to. So, some people spot her recording and she gets caught and charged with contempt. And the judge issues a search warrant for that iPad. Dann, am nächsten Tag, geht Tina zu einem lokalen Bagelshop.
