Former Colorado Clerk Tina Peters Convicted for Election Tampering, Faces Up to 22 Years

Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters has been convicted of election tampering, a verdict that could see her facing up to 22 years in prison. The conviction was handed down yesterday, with Peters scheduled to be sentenced in October.

The charges stem from a 2021 incident in which Peters, who was serving as the Mesa County Clerk, allowed an unauthorized individual to access the county’s voting equipment. This person reportedly made copies of hard drives and took photographs of secure passwords. Prosecutors argued that Peters not only facilitated this breach. . .
