Colorado arrest clerk accused of tampering with voting machines

 Washington Examiner:

A judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who has been indicted on charges of tampering with voting machine equipment and is barred from administering the 2022 elections.

The arrest warrant comes in response to Peters's alleged violation of the terms of her bond by traveling to Las Vegas without giving proper notification to the court and attaining permission. Her bond was also revoked by the judge.

"Upon review of the People's Verified Motion to Revoke Bond, I find a sufficient basis to grant the same. A no bond warrant issues for Defendant's arrest pending a hearing before me to address the matters set forth in the motion," Mesa County District Court Judge Matthew David Barrett wrote on Thursday.

The county's district attorney, Dan Rubinstein, requested the bond revocation against Peters on Monday. He claimed that Peters sent a letter to the Colorado secretary of state that had been notarized in Nevada requesting a recount of the Republican primary for secretary of state, the Denver Gazette reported. This showed she had traveled out of state without the required court approval for that trip, the district attorney said.

Peters had been in Las Vegas for a Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officer’s Association conference Tuesday, Rubinstein claimed, noting that she had been given some liberty to travel while campaigning for Colorado secretary of state. Peters lost her bid for the Republican nod for that seat late last month.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
