A former Colorado county clerk and one-time hero to election conspiracists is set to be sentenced Thursday for leading a data-breach scheme inspired by the rampant false claims that voting fraud altered the result of the 2020 presidential race.

A jury found Tina Peters guilty of most charges against her in August for orchestrating the security breach of her elections computer system.

Peters was convicted for allowing a county security card to be misused to give a man affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell access to the Mesa County election system and for deceiving other officials about that person’s identity.
