Ashe Tuesday: Scott Bottoms on pedophile bust, Tina Peters, opponent Barb Kirkmeyer

This edition of 'Ashe Tuesday' focuses on the intersection of politics, law, and social justice. Representative Scott Bottoms (R-15) joins the show to discuss his campaign for governor and his plans to address the issue of weaponized government in Colorado. But what's really at stake here is the integrity of the electoral process and the rights of citizens to question the status quo, according to Ashe Epp. Representative Bottoms shares his thoughts on the recent case of Tina Peters, a county clerk who was convicted of election-related crimes. He argues that the sentence she received was harsh and that the governor's decision to commute it was a step in the right direction. But what's really interesting is the way this case highlights the broader issue of weaponized government in Colorado, where officials seem to be more interested in protecting their own narratives than in upholding the law. The conversation also touches on the topic of election integrity, with Representative Bottoms discussing the importance of verifying the accuracy of election results. He shares his thoughts on the recent discovery of images from Elbert County, which seem to contradict the narrative that Colorado's elections are secure. And he explains why he believes that these images are still out there, waiting to be analyzed. https://asheinamerica.substack.com/p/election-justice-bottoms-says-the If you're interested in learning more about the issues facing Colorado and the importance of holding elected officials accountable, this episode is a must-listen.
