    It looks like election security in the general election in Colorado was breached after all.

    "A grand jury has indicted a Colorado county clerk, Tina Peters, and her deputy on a laundry list of charges related to an election security breach in her office last summer....."

    She's also running for public office. This might have an effect on her campaign.................

    All of these election tampering events have really made me distrust Democrats. They really will stop at nothing to steal an election.

    Oh wait, it was a Republican… oh

    Always watch what Republicans are accusing others of to see what they are doing.

    True conservatives let them infiltrate and assume control of the party so they are also to blame.

    Well, since there obviously isn't any election fraud issues, we don't need to do anything to prevent election fraud. Isn't that what we've been told many times by Democrats?

    Send her away along with any other fraudsters.

    Explain to everyone here how voter ID, which I have no issues with, would do anything to prevent the type of fraud that this idiot Trumpists tried to commit.

    Don't get yourself dizzy trying your hardest to explain though.

    That's not a reason not to have voter ID though.

    But without voter ID, it does make it easier for these fraudsters to not get caught.
    (This woman was caught, consider that.)

    Hey, wait a minute. Read the article:
    "The pair is accused of helping an unauthorized person make copies of sensitive voting-machine hard drives and attend an annual software update. Information from the machines and secure passwords were later shared with election conspiracy theorists online."

    It almost sounds like what she did that she was punished for was leaking data to try to expose evidence of voter fraud.

    Does anyone else see this? That article says nothing else about what this woman actually did that constitutes fraud.

    But maybe what she is being accused of doing is inadvertently revealing passwords that could be used to commit fraud. Even though those passwords were needed to prove the evidence she was leaking.

    Well, well it seems you cherry picked the article. Sounds like she was looking into election fraud, got a little too close to exposing it and was charged with a crime in order to stop her.

    This is the kind of thing communist countries pull.

    yes, and dead people also voted for Trump

    republicans also ran ghost candidates to steal votes from valid candidates

    why are republicans not following the rules?

    Sure, sure it sounds like these charges could have been made up by Stalin himself.

    Of course everyone sees it

    That was the point

    Even if she absolutely believed she was right she had no right under the law to do what she did

    I see what you mean. Try to expose election fraud, get charged with election fraud.

    (Either that or this article was terribly written and didn't explain what she actually did)

    Now let me type this slowly

    Because what she did was illegal.

    someone might become convinced that they actually own your house - does that give them a right to move in?

    Sounds like fraud might be easier to prove in the States that Trump won, rather than the ones he lost ...
    Just say'n, every instance of voter fraud in Florida was at the hands of a Republican supporter.

    Illegality and being wrong are not always the same thing.

    Sometimes it is both wrong and illegal, but the person committing it did not fully realize why it was wrong.

    I didn't actually read about any case of voter fraud in the OP. Did you?

    Tell us how she actually committed "fraud", if that's the case.

    If it is illegal then by definition it is wrong

    Especially when there are LEGAL albeit often more complex and slower methods of achieving the same ends

    Are you serious? Do you realize how what you wrote in your post makes you look?

    Are you really absolutely serious? Do you want to take this and debate it in the Religion & Philosophy section?

    If that's what you truly believe, that could possibly explain a WORLD of difference between conservatives and the Left.

    Ok, if you are that confident, tell us how what she did was legal.
