11:52Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian cover Shasta County, California's plan to bring on convicted election felon Tina Peters as an elections consultant, walking through her 2024 conviction for orchestrating unauthorized access to Mesa County, Colorado's voting equipment with the help of a Mike Lindell associate, former pro surfer Conan Hayes. Brian explains that Peters' nine-year sentence was commuted by Colorado's governor after 20 months, that she remains on parole, and that Trump's attempted pardon was legally meaningless since it was a state, not federal, conviction. Shant details how Shasta County registrar Clint Curtis, a lame-duck official who lost his own reelection primary, first floated hiring Peters as assistant registrar before walking it back to a consultant role to dodge the background check that job would require. Brian flags the practical problems: Peters' parole likely bars her from leaving Colorado, and California's secretary of state and attorney general retain authority to intervene if Curtis lets her anywhere near election systems. Senator Alex Padilla has already called for the hire to be stopped. Brian's bottom line: this is Mike Lindell's cyber symposium coming full circle, from a defamation judgment against him to a convicted felon he championed potentially advising a California county on how to run elections.
