Tina Peters, the former secretary of Mesa County, Colorado, was sentenced to nine years in prison on Thursday for her role in a violation of her state’s voting system, amid her campaign of baseless conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential election, according to CNBC News.
After Judge Matthew Barrett rejected her lawyer’s request for her to be free, Peters was instantly taken into custody. ” I’m convinced you would do it all over again if you could”, Barrett said. You’re as resolute a accused as this prosecutor has ever seen.
The court had formerly heard how Peters, who had requested supervision, was convicted in August on seven legal matters, including attempting to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal imitation, infraction of duty, and failure to comply with secretary of state requirements.
Peters was charged with using another person’s security symbol to entice illegal entry to her town’s election system and was ordered to serve a maximum sentence of 20 years. The person who gained access to the information had connections to Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow, and a dominant supporter of the rejected state that Trump lost as a result of ballot scams.
Throughout the trials, Peters erroneously alleged that Dominion Voting Systems, which managed Mesa County’s vote system, was complicit in a system against Trump.
