"But Peters became convinced that there were ghosts in the Dominion Machines and set out to prove it. That effort included: giving her voting machine password to associates of the pillow weirdo Mike Lindell; stealing a government ID for an associate of Overstock weirdo Patrick Byrne; sneaking said associate in and allowing him to digitally image the Dominion machines; passing off the associate as a government employee so he could attend a confidential software update with Dominion staff;"
"All this endeared her to the MAGA faithful, but not to the court. In August of 2024, she was convicted on seven counts and sentenced to nine years. Colorado Judge Matthew Barrett called her "a charlatan who used, and is still using, your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that's been proven to be junk time and time again." None of this dimmed her right-wing star, and springing her from jail became a particular fixation of the Trump administration."
"For the record, Old Lady Peters is 70 - a full nine years younger than the guy who wrote that post, and another one in November demanding that the state of Colorado "FREE TINA PETERS, WHO SITS IN A COLORADO PRISON, DYING & OLD, FOR ATTEMPTING TO EXPOSE VOTER FRAUD IN THE RIGGED 2O20 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!""
Donald Trump is pursuing efforts to secure the release of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County election clerk convicted on charges related to election interference. Peters shared passwords, facilitated outsiders imaging Dominion voting machines, misrepresented associates as government officials, recorded court proceedings, and resisted law enforcement. A Colorado jury convicted her on seven counts in August 2024 and a judge sentenced her to nine years, calling her a charlatan. Peters remains a cause célèbre among MAGA supporters. The Justice Department filed a statement of interest in her federal habeas petition in March.
