MAGA election official immediately spews conspiracies after conviction
Election-denying felon Tina Peters complained about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”
Hours after being convicted of tampering with voting machines in Colorado in the name of Donald Trump, former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters griped that the outcome was a “sad day for our nation and the world” while continuing to spout false election-related conspiracy theories about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”
Peters was found guilty Monday on seven of ten charges after she granted unauthorized individuals access to county voting machines in order to transfer data to Trump allies. Peters faces up to 22 years in prison.
Later in the day, Peters responded to her newfound status as a felon by posting Bible quotes and spreading baseless claims about election fraud.

The software is in Serbia? Lol
The "Serbia" thing was news to me, too. It turns out Dominion has an office in Serbia. That's it. That's the sliver of factual basis for the new conspiracy theory.
Leaf posted a Google Drive with thousands of pages of internal Dominion documents that had been provided as discovery in Byrne’s lawsuit. Some showed that top officials at Dominion had communicated with employees in one of its back offices in Belgrade, Serbia, near the time of the election — an otherwise innocuous fact that, according to Leaf, indicated that “Serbian military criminals” were “running our elections.”
Would love to watch this bint attempt to point to Serbia on a map
She probably can't even point out the capital of Mexico
"Tiajuana? No, that's too easy. Ensenada!"
That makes it one of the more credible conspiracy theories republiQans fall for.
Most of them are just “The Bible says margarine is alien currency - lets hate the gays” sort of batshittery
The most insidious theories are the ones with a sliver of truth behind them. Because the ones pushing them can say "Do YoUr OwN rEsEaRcH" and lazy people will find that one or two points are true and punt on checking the rest.
Like how these nutters went from "the company outsourced some of their engineering to Eastern Europe" to "the Serbian government is directly writing all their software".
I mean, I’m all for a plausible theory. But the Qanon stuff just went koo koo bananapants from the get-go. I think initially as a joke, but then later it just was all a sad joke.
