Tina Peters, a former Colorado election clerk convicted of tampering with voting machines, is advocating for the Trump administration to utilize emergency powers to scrutinize voting machines before the upcoming midterms. Peters has gained significant access to government officials, including meetings at the White House and Justice and Commerce departments. Alongside other election deniers, she presented a '100-Day Risk Mitigation Election Plan' to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), urging a shift from ballot-marking devices to hand-marked paper ballots.
