You’re probably right but I don’t really get it. Mesa County is so red that Trump won by 28 points in 2020. What was this person trying to achieve? For that matter, what was Tina Peters was trying to achieve? I just don’t understand how either of them could have made a difference when, in 2020, Trump won by over 25K votes out of a total of 91K votes cast and 107K registered voters.
Perhaps they wanted it to be caught, where it wouldn’t make a difference if it wasn’t, in order to shore up their future claims that more of the same occurred in more competitive districts. As well as undermining faith in the election as a whole.

the county totals don’t matter for president, it is counted statewide.
And the statewide margin was still a 14 point margin. Too much to overcome with 12 stolen ballots.

That’s actually a very insightful theory.
But if I had to bet on it, I’d still put my money on outright stupidity.
There are more things to vote on than just the President. State representation is important.
You’re right, it is. In 2020 not a single race in Mesa County was competitive. Likewise, none of the state-wide races were competitive enough to have their results changed even if everyone in Mesa County voted the same way.
