Washington (CNN)Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, along with her deputies Belinda Knisley and Julie Fisher, will not be allowed to oversee 2022 elections in the county, a Colorado district judge ruled Tuesday, marking the second time Peters has been removed from the same post.

Judge Valerie Robison's ruling follows two days of testimony last month in a lawsuit brought by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold to prevent Peters, Knisley and Fisher from being the designated election official in the upcoming Mesa County primary and midterm elections.

"The Court's decision today bars Peters from further threatening the integrity of Mesa's elections and ensures Mesa County residents have the secure and accessible elections they deserve," Griswold said as part of a statement released by her office following the ruling.

"Clerk Peters' actions compromised Mesa County's voting equipment and election security constituting one of the nation's first insider threats where an election official, risked the integrity of the election system in an effort to prove unfounded conspiracy theories," Griswold continued, adding, "Clerk Peters subsequently refused to affirm that she would comply with Colorado election rules and laws as the Mesa County DEO."
