Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters, one-time hero to election deniers, convicted in computer breach
DENVER (AP) — Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters, the first local election official to becharged with a security breach after the 2020 election as unfounded conspiracy theories swirled,
was found guilty by a jury on most charges Monday.
Peters, a one-time hero to election deniers, was accused of using someone else’s security badge
to give an expert affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell access to the Mesa County
election system and deceiving other officials about that person’s identity.
Lindell is a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the
election from Donald Trump. His online broadcasting site has been showing a livestream of Peters’
trial and sending out daily email updates, sometimes asking for prayers for Peters and including statements from her.
Prosecutors said Peters was seeking fame and became “fixated” on voting problems after becoming
involved with those who had questioned the accuracy of the 2020 presidential election results.
The breach Peters was charged of orchestrating heightened concerns over potential insider threats,
in which rogue election workers sympathetic to partisan lies could use their access and knowledge to
launch an attack from within.
won't dare step in this thread. He never posts on threads of proven voter fraud, just right wing conspiracy theories threads that fit his warped narrative.
