Source: cnbc
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 lawyers request that she remain free.

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 persons security badge to allow someone else to gain access to her countys 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 Trumps defeat for a second term was due to ballot fraud.

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"

(834 posts)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!

(215 posts)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.

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

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