Peters turned herself in.<\/p>\n<p>Peters allegedly sent the email to Brandi Bantz, the Mesa County elections director, on Wednesday. The email included a request from Peters for a recount of the Colorado secretary of state primary election. Peters lost the GOP primary and failed to provide $250,000 for a recount. Peters is barred from contacting Bantz.<\/p>\n<p>Peters is an election conspiracy theorist who denies the 2020 presidential election results. She is currently under a grand jury indictment related to a security breach in Mesa County\u2019s election office that she allegedly facilitated last year.<\/p>\n<p>Peters has a hearing for the case at the Mesa County District Court on Aug. 5. It\u2019s uncertain whether the Thursday charges will be added to the case, according to Stephanie Reecy, a public information officer for Mesa County.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coloradonewsline.com\/\" id=\"link-b6e0822cc45226333de6095cd642704f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em id=\"emphasis-ea0ef054c42ee629126f4798f7e54cda\">For more stories from Colorado Newsline, visit coloradonewsline.com.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Election-denying Mesa County clerk turns herself in to Pitkin County authorities on arrest warrant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[28,1509],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-39302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-headlines","tag-state-elections"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39302"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=39302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
