HAMMER of JUSTICE: Mike Davis of Article III Project just filed a federal civil-rights criminal referral with AAG Harmeet Dhillon at DOJ targeting Colorado officials who jailed Tina Peters for her First Amendment views on election integrity. Filed the day she walks free.✊
Here is the press release from the Article III Project.
Ahead of Tina Peters’ release from prison today, Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, filed a federal civil-rights criminal referral with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, urging a criminal investigation into Colorado government officials who illegally conspired to unconstitutionally punish the former Mesa County Clerk for her First Amendment-protected views on election integrity.
In March 2022, Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, supported vociferously by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, indicted Peters on charges related to alleged election interference. In October 2024, Mesa County District Judge Matthew D. Barrett sentenced the then-69-year-old woman to nearly nine years in prison for nonviolent offenses, a sentence longer than what many defendants receive in federal court for illegal voting. Peters has no prior criminal record, and her actions did not alter a single vote.
