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.
Delicious! She went on a 45 minute rant including a PowerPoint. Interrupted the judge throughout. Like, does she think she can filibuster out of jail time? Judge came back with a laundry list of, “this is what you did and I believe you’d do it again, have 9 years.”
She even claimed she couldn’t stay in jail because she needs her special magnetic mattress. We’re talking proper crazy here.
Hopefully this helps teach other crazy a lesson, even if she (likely) never learns it herself.
Assuming she doesn’t have any real pre-trial detention she’s probably going to do 40 months, then be on parole for the balance.
