QAnon is a collection of conspiracy theories around the idea that fmr Pres Trump was going to round up + execute his opponents, specifically Democrats who eat babies. Prior to her election, GOP @RepBoebert, who reps Mesa Co, expressed support for QAnon before distancing herself.

Watkins' presentation about Mesa County at Pillow Guy Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium, which seeks to prove President Trump's false election rigging claims, is disjointed and difficult to follow. Tech issues are making it harder to understand.

Presenters are suggesting that if their fellow conspiracy theorists can gain access to local voting systems (like via the Mesa County security breach), they can look for the voting irregularities they seek but have been unable to prove.

If you're just stumbling upon this odd story, it was first reported by @OldNewsman, who offered this update today: gjsentinel.com/news/western_c…

To better understand the QAnon connection, there's this from @Timodc:

@Timodc Images purportedly from inside Mesa County's voting system are being projected on screen at Lindell's conference as attendees are urged to weigh in. "This is not a forensic analysis," Watkins said. "This is just a discussion based upon the data."

@Timodc They're having difficulties pulling up the files.

@Timodc "I see a log file in the root... interesting," a presenter says. "Is there any cyber guy out there who knows about event logs?"

@Timodc Watkins and the presenters haven't alleged anything nefarious inside Mesa County's Dominion voting system based on the images they've put on screen at the symposium. Mainly, they've expressed befuddlement at how to access and interpret the files. And how to project them onscreen.

@Timodc Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters promised My Pillow's Mike Lindell that she'd be back for Day 3 on Thursday with some unspecified information. Last night, Peters presented no evidence of wrongdoing by Dominion or others.

@Timodc "The server we are using for sharing is being attacked right now!" a presenter announces. The screen is black. It's been black a lot.

@Timodc It appears they've abandoned the attempt to analyze the leaked or stolen Mesa County voting systems images - at least for now.

@Timodc "Does anyone know if Mesa County uses ranked choice voting?" a presenter asks. "We should find that out."

Mesa County does not use ranked choice voting but could in the future under a new Colorado law.

@Timodc Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is in the audience, weighing in off-mic as her voting system files are publicly examined by the "cyber guys." To the best of my knowledge, Peters has not publicly expressed concern about the voting system breach at any time since it happened.

@Timodc Mike Lindell's conference presenters are debating whether to link to Mesa County voting system files online so "hackers" can access them. QAnon figure Ron Watkins is arguing for publication.

The examination of the Mesa County voting system files is a combination of the presenters' acknowledged amateur cyber skills with complete certainty every time they make a "discovery." Continuing this thread seems to be an insult to your intelligence and a waste of my time.

I'll update if anything of significance develops related to the criminal and SOS investigation of Mesa County Clerk Peters' office. (/end)
