Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, a 68-year-old gold star mother, has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for her involvement in preserving critical election data. In a blatant display of political persecution, Peters was found guilty on seven out of ten charges in August. Her crime? Exposing the truth about what transpired in the 2020 election.
Despite never violating any laws, Peters was relentlessly pursued by local and federal authorities after raising questions about election irregularities. As a final act before entering prison, she publicly released the Mesa County Colorado Voting System Forensic Examination and Analysis reports, urging supporters to view them on tinapeters.us.
Tina Peters, a widow and gold star mother, will be 78 years old by the time she is released from prison. In a heartbreaking display, she shared a photo of herself in her prison orange jumpsuit, calling for support to secure her release.
The contrast in treatment between Peters and Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office is stark. Griswold’s office left voting system passwords publicly accessible on the state’s website for months, only addressing the issue after it was brought to light by the Colorado GOP. This two-tiered nature of justice highlights the politically motivated actions of the Biden-Harris DOJ.
It is clear that Tina Peters’ prosecution is politically motivated, while those responsible for serious breaches of election security, like Griswold’s office, face minimal consequences. As Peters serves her sentence, it is essential to continue advocating for justice and fairness in the face of political persecution.
