Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who espoused the false conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election due to ballot fraud, was sentenced Thursday to nine years in prison for crimes related to a breach of voting systems in her county.

Peters was immediately taken into custody after the sentencing judge rejected her lawyer’s request that she remain free.

1. Whoa! I'm surprised but pleased.

She deserves it.

The former Mesa County clerk was convicted in August of seven criminal counts, including attempt to influence a public servant, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, violation of duty, and failure to comply with secretary of state requirements.

She was accused of using another person’s security badge to allow someone else to gain access to her county’s election system. The person who used that badge was affiliated with Mike Lindell, the CEO of My Pillow and a leading proponent of the claim that Trump’s defeat for a second term was due to ballot fraud.

3. i like the immediately taken into custody part

no "remain free while on appeal"
and if the moron somehow wins in november no pardon since these are state charges

4. This idiot angered the judge by saying that she was sure that he really agreed with her election fraud conspiracies.

This lady is a true nut case who is convinced that her conspiracy theories are correct and cannot conceive that other people do not buy her bullshit

I do not practice criminal law, but I was not aware on the concept that one could avoid prison if they needed a special "magnetic mattress"

5. Justice finally served!

She deserves every single day of that 9-year sentence.

Hopefully this will make other County Clerks think twice before screwing with our trusted election system!

7. Everyone who touches trump gets burned real bad.

Nothing ever happens to him, of course. But those who do his dirty work end up imprisoned and/or disgraced. It's a career ender. But they keep doing it! Amazing.

8. She should have been given the maximum of 20 years

I think the 9 year sentence is appropriate for this 68 year old defendant. Unfortunately she will carry her "the election was stolen belief " to the grave as prison can not rehab being stupid at least in her case.

9. GOOD! I hope NO early release!

She refused to admit being wrong, so NO early release until she admits to being wrong.

14. Stupid!

10. The story of the princess, the pea and the prison mattress.

[Prairie Gates]

11. She was not expecting that sentence and was still playing stupid games in her presentencing statement

The judge had had enough.

Consecutive on several charges, and when she finishes the state sentence, she returns to Mesa County jail for another 15 months. Goodbye, asshole.

13. I hope the GD election deniers in GA and others are paying attention! Really...is it worth going to prison?

He will in the end deny he knows you, or knows anything about what you’re up to! Think long and hard!

15. Listen to the judge's closing speech

18. ...no, Ms. Peters, you are a privileged person...you chose you over all else.

Any questions?

Yes, your honor...

I just denied that!!!

16. I want to hear about how she feels about her crime 10 years from now.

I want to hear about her crying herself to sleep, all in the quest to own the Libs!

I have been following/posted about this woman. And this was widely posted when they first seized her iPad -

And as a note, Mike Lindell was associated with her as well, including illegally giving her $800K for legal defense.
