“Tina Peters was concerned that Dominion and the SOS would delete the election records. Tina Peters was right as they did just that. The intentional destruction of election records is a federal crime that Tina Peters is a witness to.”
This is from CISA that went out to all election officials leading up to 2020. Tina Peters made backups of election data she had a duty to preserve and protect. Even little Ryan Macias on behalf of CISA advised election officials to do just that. Tina Peters was concerned that Dominion and the SOS would delete the election records. Tina Peters was right as they did just that. The intentional destruction of election records is a federal crime that Tina Peters is a witness to. There are federal criminal penalties attached to willful failures to comply with the retention and preservation requirements of the Civil Rights Act. First, Section 301 itself makes it a federal crime for “[a]ny officer of election” or “custodian” of election records to willfully fail to comply with the retention and preservation requirements. 52 U.S.C. § 20701.
Second, Section 302 provides that any “person, whether or not an officer of election or custodian, who willfully steals, destroys, conceals, mutilates, or alters any record or paper” covered by Section 301’s retention and preservation requirement is subject to federal criminal penalties. Id. § 20702. Violators of either section can face fines of up to $1000 and imprisonment of up to one year for each violation. Tina is in prison because she conspired to make backups . She knew of Dominion and the SOS’s intent to delete election records and she took the steps to protect and preserve them. She did not have malicious intent. What’s more, why hasn’t anyone been charged for intentionally destroying records for a federal election? Each ballot image, Cast Vote Record, and system log file is a felony.
