The MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed to have donated up to $800,000 to Tina Peters, which is significantly over the state's gift limit of $65 for public officials
on Tuesday, Lindell claimed to have donated up to $800,000 to that fund—wildly over the state’s gift limit of $65 for public officials.
Meanwhile, Peters is accused of mismanaging the local elections she oversaw as Mesa County Clerk. After her office allegedly failed to count ballots in a pair of recent elections, Peters became involved in a criminal case for allegedly impersonating a local man and using his identity to breach Mesa County voting machines. Peters is accused of passing information from that breach to conspiracy theorists, who wrongly claimed that it showed election malfeasance.
Neither Lindell nor Peters returned requests for comment. Anne Landman, a Mesa County resident who blogs about local politics and who first filed an ethics complaint about Peters’ fundraiser, said Lindell’s comments further underscore concerns about Peters’ fundraisers. Colorado’s Independent Ethics Commission, which is investigating Landman’s complaint, declined to comment on Lindell’s statement, due to the ongoing review, but pointed toColorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said Lindell’s comments might suggest a violation of either state campaign finance laws or laws against gifts for Colorado officials. .
