Patrick Colbeck (@pjcolbeck) shared a bombshell update on X, alleging that Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos committed perjury, conspiring to delete election records and weaponize the Biden DOJ against Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters (Patrick Colbeck: Dominion CEO Perjury in Tina Peters Case).
Colbeck’s post, which quotes Sheriff Dar Leaf’s investigation, includes 35 attachments detailing Dominion’s actions against Peters, who was convicted in 2024 for election tampering for information she presented at the 2021 Cyber Symposium (Tina Peters at Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium – Day 2).
This revelation comes at a critical time, as election integrity remains a contentious issue, with Dominion’s systems under scrutiny since CISA’s 2022 advisory revealed 9 critical vulnerabilities (Nine Critical Vulnerabilities in Dominion Voting Systems).
Colbeck’s allegations highlight the ongoing risks of electronic voting systems, reinforcing our mission to advocate for hand counting as a transparent, verifiable alternative. Let’s dive into the details of this latest development and its implications for election integrity.
What Did Patrick Colbeck Reveal?
Patrick Colbeck’s X post on June 6, 2025, centers on Dominion CEO John Poulos’ alleged perjury, claiming Poulos misrepresented Dominion’s actions in handling election records. Colbeck references Sheriff Dar Leaf’s investigation (@SheriffLeaf), which includes 35 attachments—evidence of Dominion’s conspiracy to delete records and target Tina Peters through the Biden DOJ (Patrick Colbeck: Dominion CEO Perjury in Tina Peters Case).
Peters, a former Mesa County Clerk, was convicted in 2024 on 7 of 10 charges for tampering with election equipment, a case many advocates, including myself, believe was unfairly prosecuted to deter election transparency efforts (Tina Peters Convicted: Mesa County Clerk Sentenced to 9 Years).
Sheriff Leaf’s investigation, as cited by Colbeck, builds on earlier concerns about Dominion’s practices. Leaf has been vocal about potential fraud in Dominion systems, a sentiment echoed by Colbeck at the 2021 Cyber Symposium, where he exposed internet connectivity vulnerabilities (Patrick Colbeck: Most Secure Election in History? Let’s Find Out).
These allegations of perjury, if proven, could have significant legal and public implications, potentially validating Peters’ claims of systemic issues in electronic voting. This development underscores the need for greater scrutiny of voting machine companies and supports our call for hand counting to eliminate such risks.
Tina Peters’ Case in Context
Tina Peters’ journey began in 2021 when she attended Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium, presenting evidence of alleged 2020 election irregularities in Mesa County.
Peters’ actions—sharing a copy of the county’s voting system hard drive—led to her 2024 conviction on 7 charges, including four felonies, and a 9-year prison sentence, which I and others believe was excessive and meant to send a message to election advocates.
Colbeck has previously criticized the trial’s fairness, noting the exclusion of exculpatory evidence and expert witnesses. Peters’ case is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those who question electronic voting systems.
Dominion’s alleged actions, as outlined by Colbeck, suggest a concerted effort to silence critics like Peters, who sought to expose vulnerabilities in these systems. This aligns with broader concerns about Dominion, including CISA’s 2022 admission of 9 critical vulnerabilities in their machines, known since 2020 but disclosed only after public pressure (Nine Critical Vulnerabilities in Dominion Voting Systems).
Peters’ story reinforces why we advocate for hand counting—a method free from digital manipulation and legal overreach.
Why This Matters for Election Integrity
Patrick Colbeck’s allegations of Dominion CEO perjury and the targeting of Tina Peters highlight the systemic issues plaguing electronic voting systems. If Dominion manipulated records and leveraged the DOJ against Peters, as Colbeck and Sheriff Leaf suggest, it raises serious questions about the integrity of our elections and the accountability of voting machine companies.
These developments validate the concerns raised by Peters, Colbeck, and others at the 2021 Cyber Symposium, where vulnerabilities in Dominion systems were first brought to light (Mike Lindell’s 2021 Cyber Symposium on Election Fraud).
At Return to Hand Counting, we believe hand counting is the solution to these persistent risks. Unlike electronic systems, hand counting provides a transparent, verifiable process that ensures every vote is counted accurately, free from digital tampering or corporate interference.
Join us in advocating for a return to hand counting by exploring our website and its resources. Together, we can restore trust in our elections and honor the courage of advocates like Tina Peters who risked everything for transparency.
