QAnon/GOP Colorado Clerk To Get Recount After All

The Associated Press reports:

Election conspiracy theorist and Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters will get a recount after all, Colorado officials announced today, now that Peters has raised $256,000 to pay for the review of her loss in the Republican primary for secretary of state.

But she did not pay the $236,000 the Secretary of State’s office initially charged, insisting on a hand recount rather than the machine one they said their rules required. So Peters’ loss was officially certified on Monday.

But then Peters announced she’d raised the funds and reiterated her request. On Thursday, the Secretary of State’s office announced it would perform a machine recount by Aug. 4 after Peters placed the $256,000 fee in an escrow account.
