Ever since now-President Joe Biden was first declared the winner of the 2020 election, Republican lawmakers and voters have scrambled to look for any vindication whatsoever for former President Donald Trump's lie that the 2020 election was somehow "stolen" from him by Democrats engaging in widespread election fraud.
Trump and his supporters claim that U.S. elections aren't secure, but actually rife with voter fraud. This is despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.
Now, one pro-Trump election official accidentally breached her own election system's security in her attempts to prove Trump's election fraud lies right.
Mesa County, Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters—a staunch supporter of Donald Trump—sent secretly recorded video and screenshots to Ron Watkins, the 8chan administrator whom many believe is secretly the "Q" of QAnon. The low-quality video shows Peters asking questions to a Dominion Voting Systems employee, attempting to vindicate her election fraud fantasies.
But it was the screenshots that proved to be Peters' biggest misstep.
NEW: I got an all-time self-own for y'all. \n\nA MAGA county clerk in Colorado wanted to prove there was election fraud. Now she's under investigation for carrying out the very breach she was falsely claiming was committed by anti-Trump forces.https://www.thebulwark.com/voting-machine-tampering-is-coming-from-inside-the-maga-house/\u00a0\u2026— Tim Miller (@Tim Miller) 1628540912
Watkins shared the information, crediting a "whistleblower," but failed to block out Peters' password to the election system's basic input/output system (BIOS) motherboard—a catastrophic breach of election security.
What some hoped would be the "Kraken" turned out just to be a Karen.
Imagine setting your own career on fire to leak worthless "secrets" to Ron Watkins, then getting caught because Ron didn't do the slightest bit of redaction.https://twitter.com/Timodc/status/1424829972749815809\u00a0\u2026— Mike Rothschild (@Mike Rothschild) 1628555672

It\u2019s really a generous interpretation, but again one of the most consistent and unavoidable interpretations of Republican officials is that they falsely assume Democrats are as wretchedly corrupt as they are. It\u2019s inconceivable for them it wouldn\u2019t be true. Trump to a T.https://twitter.com/Timodc/status/1424829972749815809\u00a0\u2026— Jesse Lee (@Jesse Lee) 1628551100

It was yet another instance of Republican projection.
