Interview with John Case
Attorney John Case talks about due process for Tina Peters. Case, an attorney deeply involved in the political affairs of Colorado Republicans, has taken a particular interest in a recent development involving Tina Peters. A group of former Republican county clerks has made headlines by distributing an email that outright claims Tina Peters is guilty of the accusations leveled against her in Mesa County. Despite this, Case posits a different perspective, suggesting that the attention given to Peters might be misplaced. He advocates for a broader examination of the state’s voting system, emphasizing the need to identify and rectify any vulnerabilities that could lead to potential fraud. According to Case, it is this systemic issue that deserves the focus of Coloradans, rather than the singular case of Peters. Listent to the full interview in the second hour.
