Embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and dozens of others gathered at the state Capitol on Tuesday to call for free and fair elections.

Peters was joined by supporters who claim a new report shows evidence of discrepancies in the election. “I’m a threat, I’m a threat to their democracy. We’re talking about losing our republic ad what we found in these reports is very damning and they want to cover it up,” said Peters. The group supporting Peters’ claims that her case will expose to the nation problems with voting machines.
