Tina Peters, a former Mesa County, Colorado clerk and prominent figure in election fraud controversies, has been sentenced to nine years in prison, the Gateway Pundit reported. The sentencing follows her conviction on multiple charges related to attempts to influence public servants, conspiracy, and misconduct involving election data from the 2020 election. Peters, who garnered attention for her outspoken criticism of Dominion Voting Systems, became a polarizing figure, with supporters claiming political persecution and detractors accusing her of illegal actions to influence the election process.

Peters was convicted on three counts of attempting to influence a public servant and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation. Additional convictions included first-degree official misconduct and failure to comply with the Secretary of State’s orders—each a misdemeanor. Her defense argued that her actions were justified in her efforts to preserve critical election data that she believed would be erased illegally by state officials.

Peters first came into the spotlight when she copied information from voting machines in Mesa County. Her decision to make copies was based on what she described as a lawful attempt to preserve evidence of irregularities. The Secretary of State’s office, under Jena Griswold, had ordered a “trusted build” update to the county’s voting machines, which Peters and her supporters claimed would erase important election data. Peters maintained that she acted within her authority to safeguard election integrity.
In August 2024, Peters was convicted on multiple charges, including official misconduct and violation of duty. The jury acquitted her of three charges: criminal impersonation, conspiracy to commit impersonation, and identity theft. However, the cumulative penalties for her convictions led to the nine-year prison sentence.
During the trial, Peters remained defiant, stating that she was being targeted by a system “weaponized” against political opponents. “We are the last bastion of freedom in Colorado,” Peters said during a speech at a symposium held by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. She argued that her actions were in response to citizen concerns about election irregularities, and she has consistently framed her prosecution as political retribution.
Peters’ sentencing sends a strong message about the legal ramifications of tampering with election systems. In a statement made after the sentencing, the court emphasized the importance of maintaining public trust in the election process, with the judge noting that Peters’ actions undermined the integrity of democracy.
Despite the defense’s plea for leniency, the court rejected requests for a lighter sentence. According to CNBC, Peters was taken into custody immediately following the sentencing.
