This week, Colorado voters took to the polls in the first major election since the world got turned upside down on November 3, 2020. While Colorado isn’t necessarily a “swing state”, the 2022 primaries had a statewide race for Secretary of State that garnered national attention: the race between the Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and the Director (on leave) of the Center for Tech and Civic Life, Pam Anderson. Yes, CTCL. The wildly unpopular (in conservative circles) non-profit that injected over $400 million from Mark Zuckerberg’s organization into the 2020 election.
But this story isn’t so much about Pam Anderson, who skipped the typical GOP Convention nomination by instead gathering signatures to appear on the ballot. It’s not even so much about Tina Peters, whom ColoradoPols.com showed as “…sadly, [the] favorite in a Republican Primary in 2022” and also showed Tina Peters chances to win not just the primary, but the overall general election at 40% to Pam Anderson’s 20% and Mike O’Donnell’s 5%. Wait, Mike O’Donnell? Who’s that? If you asked yourself that question, so did many Coloradoans. And his miraculous, unprecedented David vs Goliath showing is the focus of this brief article.
Mike O’Donnell, an Australian native and Colorado business owner living in Yuma Co, was the third person on the ballot in this race. In the GOP Convention in April, he lost to Tina Peters 60.67% to 39.43%, but still garnered enough votes to make the ballot. As mentioned above, Pam Anderson opted to skip the convention and rather made the ballot by gathering 17,904 signatures (only 12,317 were deemed “valid” though) I’m certain those signatures were predominantly from GOP voters though.
The GOP in Colorado would love to be represented by a board member from CTCL after the 2020 election. Twenty-two other Republicans opted to get on the ballot by this method, including Joe O’Dea who upset Ron Hanks in the US Senate primary, compared to only nine democrats.
But the 3,772 Republican delegates at this year’s GOP Convention must have been unprecedentedly out of touch with their constituents that elected them because Mike O’Donnell had quite a turnout in the primary this week. Not only is he in a neck and neck tie with Tina Peters for second place, he was actually able to win outright in 17 counties, most of which went heavily for Donald Trump in 2020.
Mike O’Donnell fundraised a whopping $1,645 from June 9 thru June 22 from a ground breaking 13 donors. Comparatively speaking, Pam Anderson raised $13,016.93 from a total of 43 donors and Tina Peters raised $19,220 from a total of 154 donors, all during the same June 9 – June 22 time period.
In total, O’Donnell raised just over $12,000 in monetary donations for his campaign. Comparatively, the alleged “winner”, Pam Anderson, raised $121,779.15 and Tina Peters, the acknowledged front runner according to ColoradoPols and other news outlets, raised $215,912.96.
The numbers above seemingly include a $51,092.74 loan for O’Donnell, a $40,000 loan for Anderson, and a $5,000 loan for Peters. Only Peters has paid back the loan thus far. O’Donnell and Anderson both took non monetary contributions of $13,851.43 and $1,813.78, respectively.
So the folks of Colorado are to believe that a relatively unknown candidate who was much closer to not making the ballot at all (9.4%) than he was to winning the convention (21%) and was out fundraised by almost 1,800% somehow beat the frontrunner in the race, Tina Peters, who ended up in 3rd place overall?
The candidate who won petitioned her way onto the ballot rather than winning at convention and sits on the board of CTCL, who 70% of voters believed was a “bad thing for American democracy.”
And we must simply believe this without questioning it.
Up is down. Down is up. Much more to come on the Secretary of State election as well as the inversion of GOP candidates from Assembly to Primary…

Machines Flip 70/30 win from Patriot Lynda Wilson to RINO in Brazen Fraud
Lynda Zamora Wilson is a retired US Air Force officer with a PhD in Economics, an MS in Mathematics, MA in International Economics, and an MA in Education.
She was a senior economist at the Pentagon and an f-22 Flight Test Analyst.
Earlier this year Lynda jumped into the Republican primary race against incumbent state Senator Paul Lundeen.
Paul Lundeen, the GOP Minority Whip, is known as a RINO and Lynda Zamora Lundeen was new to politics.
Lynda was a grassroots favorite.
Via Colorado Politics — In April at the Colorado State Republican Party assembly Lynda Zamora Wilson won more votes than Lundeen. Wilson secured 52% compared to Lundeen’s 48%, the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle reported.
Lynda was on fire!
More from Colorado Politics —
Political newcomer and retired Air Force Lt. Col. Lynda Zamora Wilson is taking on the district’s incumbent and a GOP leader, Minority Whip Sen. Paul Lundeen, R-Monument.
This is the first time Lundeen — who is a favorite to become Senate president if Republicans flip the chamber — has faced a primary challenge during his nearly eight-year career in the Colorado legislature. Lundeen ran unopposed in the Republican primaries for the 2014 and 2016 House elections, as well as in his most recent 2018 Senate election.
Even more surprisingly, Wilson won more votes than Lundeen during the Colorado Republican Party’s state assembly on April 9. Though both candidates received more than 30% of the votes and, therefore, made it to the ballot, Wilson secured 52% compared to Lundeen’s 48%, the Glendale Cherry Creek Chronicle reported.
This victory came less than two weeks after Wilson entered the race, while standing at a significant fundraising disadvantage. As of Friday, her campaign raised just over $870 in contributions, while Lundeen’s campaign hauled in more than $73,000, according to data from the Secretary of State’s Office.
The winner of this Republican primary will likely go on to win the general election, given the dominance of Republican voters in the district — though the GOP victor will still need to defeat Democratic candidate Arik Dougherty, who is running uncontested in his party’s primary, in November.
The primary elections in Colorado were held on June 28, 2022.
It was a big night for Lynda Zamora Wilson.
At 8:12 she held a significant lead over incumbent Paul Ledeen.
Wilson was at 15,385 votes to Lundeen’s 6,675 votes — more than twice his total!
By 8:50 PM on election night Wilson had built on her lead and THE ELECTION WAS CALLED by Local FOX 31.
Wilson was now ahead with 69.51% of the vote.
She had 15,833 votes to Lundeen’s 6,946 votes
Then something very strange took place.
The election numbers were switched. Suddenly Lynda Zamora Wilson was behind in the race.
The machines flipped her lead to a loss.
The machines flipped the numbers back to the 8:15 totals — but Lundeen was now ahead!
Paul Lundeen was then miraculously declared the winner.
This was the same night that Tina Peters was robbed from her victory.
How much election fraud do they think the people will take?
Dominion Voting machines in El Paso County, Co. produced large numbers of adjudications in their Logic and Accuracy test for the hand recount of the 2022 Primary election. The recount was ordered (and paid for) by some of the candidates, including Mesa Clerk Tina Peters and El Paso senate candidate Linda Zamora Wilson, who had her election inexplicably overturned AFTER it had been called by local news without any explanation. The L&A consisted of 4,000 ballots. 2,200, around 60%, were reportedly kicked out for adjudication. Two Dominion employees were present and it still can’t be run correctly. Teams of judges are reviewing the ballots as part of the adjudication process.3
The Gateway Pundit reported that the county election committee:
1.) they changed the parameters of the machines to test the ballots – Why are they changing parameters to these machines before a recount? Who authorized these changes and who performed them? Were they re-certified to EAC standards after the changes were made?
2.) the test ballots were computer generated by “the computers” – First, Colorado law requires the ballots be “voter verified ballots” (more on that below). Secondly, if the test ballots were generated by computers, why wasn’t it disclosed and prepared for when they began? Is simply telling participants that these should generate 2266 adjudications is too much for something they’re paying tens of thousands of dollars for? This would actually be another way to ensure the machines are working properly: tell the candidates how many under votes and over votes there should be contained in the test deck! And it would prevent people from asking questions like these.
Instead, we are left with a 54% adjudication rate, a seemingly unauthorized and uncertified update to the election machine, and more “trust us”. Individuals inside the room during the count said that it was not expected and officials were scrambling to find election judges and watchers.
3.) the Secretary of State dictates that they look for a broader range of errors when conducting the Logic and Accuracy test compared to the election itself – Why are more errors looked for in a recount? Why are blank votes “adjudicated”? They should just be blank! If we chose to skip over a race, there’s a possibility someone will get the opportunity to determine my intent for that vote I deliberately left blank? Why do the machines need to be altered in order ensure they worked properly the first time? El Paso originally requires a test of a minimum of 25 ballots. Is the El Paso elections department so over-zealous that they surpassed the county mandate by a 4,241 ballots?
4.) –each of the 2266 ballots need to be adjudicated with each count. There are seven counts. They may have finished 4 today, which means tomorrow they have 3 more. At this point, why wouldn’t they have just done a hand count? I’m glad you asked: Thanks to Ashe in America, we know that CRS 1-10.5-102 Sec 3 Paragraph “a” states that:
“Prior to any recount, the canvass board shall choose at random and test voting devices used in the candidate race, ballot issue, or ballot question that is the subject of the recount. The board shall use the voting devices it has selected to conduct a comparison of the machine count of the ballots counted on each such voting device for the candidate race, ballot issue, or ballot question to the corresponding manual count of the VOTER VERIFIED paper records.” (Emphasis added)
This means that the county should be mandated to count these ballots by hand, and, more importantly, they must be voter verified, not “computer printer verified”. The “test deck” originally had 6 to 7 adjudications per batch when it was run back in May of 2022. The fact that the original Logic & Accuracy test had adjudications in and of itself is disturbing. What’s even more disturbing is that the “expanded” parameters somehow have found 2266 errors on ballots that previously only had 6 or 7 per batch. And what’s most disturbing is that this seemed to take everyone at the El Paso Elections Department today by complete surprise as they scurried to find the personnel to accomplish their task.
El Paso, CO county was not the only county with extremely high adjucation rates.4
A new lawsuit had to be filed which compels the CO Secretary of State to conduct the recount while assigning the Clerk and Recorder as an official observer to the recount. It is alleged in the lawsuit that the current method of testing and conducting the recount is inconsistent with Colorado Revised Statutes. The new filing by CO Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters expands upon the Factual allegations.
