Tina Peters sentenced to 9 years behind bars in voting system data breach case
A Colorado county clerk has been sentenced to nine years in prison for spearheading a data breach scheme in the 2020 presidential election.
District Judge Matthew Barrett issued the order Thursday, saying that former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters continued to push discredited claims about rigged voting machines.
He says Peters did not take her job seriously.
A jury found Peters guilty of four felonies after a lengthy criminal trial.
She has been cleared of three lesser charges.
Prosecutors alleged that Peters stole a county employee’s security badge to help a man associated with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell gain access to the county’s voter systems.
Peters then assisted Lindell’s false conspiracies about the validity of the 2020 election results.
Lindell at the time and since has promoted false claims that voting machines were manipulated to prevent then-President Donald Trump from winning reelection.
Peters is a Republican.
