Former Colorado election official Tina Peters’ latest effort to get out of prison flopped Monday, as a federal magistrate judge denied her habeas corpus petition because her state-level appeals had not yet run their course.
Peters, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump who shared his penchant for baselessly claiming he lost the 2020 election because of fraud, served as the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder. She was indicted in 2022 for allowing an unauthorized person — later discovered to be affiliated with MyPillow founder and fellow election conspiracy monger Mike Lindell — to access and tamper with the county election equipment, breaking into the voting machines under her supervision and copying data that was later leaked online.
She was convicted of seven felonies (including attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty, and failure to comply with the statutory requirements of her role as clerk) and then sentenced to nine years in prison in October 2024.
Trump has repeatedly and vociferously attacked the prosecutors, the judge, and others involved in convicting Peters, complaining it was caused by “Communist persecution by the Radical Left Democrats to cover up their Election crimes and misdeeds in 2020″ — even though the DA was a Republican.
