The former Colorado elections clerk turned down a position with a conservative California county's voter registrar.

What happened
Tina Peters, former elections clerk in Mesa County, Colorado, declined a job offer to oversee elections in Shasta County, a conservative county north of Sacramento, California. According to Shasta County Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis, Peters declined because she is traveling around the country working to secure elections.
Context
Peters' decision to reject the position suggests her priority is conducting election security work nationwide rather than taking on a permanent county role. Her activity in the elections space continues despite her earlier tenure in Colorado, where she served as clerk.
