QAnon CO Ex-Clerk Found Guilty On Seven Charges

August 12, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

The Associated Press reports:

Prosecutors on Monday urged jurors to convict former Colorado clerk Tina Peters in a security breach of her county’s election computer system, saying she deceived government employees so she could work with outsiders affiliated with MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell to become famous.

In closing arguments at Tina Peters’ trial, prosecutor Janet Drake argued that the former clerk allowed a man posing as a county employee to take images of the election system’s hard drive before and after a software upgrade in May 2021.

Drake said Peters observed the update so she could become the “hero” and appear at Lindell’s symposium on the 2020 presidential election a few months later. Lindell is a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election from Donald Trump.

The Colorado Sun reports: 

A jury has reached a verdict at the trial of former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters on charges she breached her county’s election system in a quest to prove voter fraud.

Twenty-first Judicial District Judge Matthew Barrett is expected to announce the verdict in court soon. At least four Mesa County sheriff’s deputies are inside the courtroom to maintain order, and another four are in the hallway.

Peters, 68, faces seven felonies and three misdemeanors in a scheme to breach election equipment in May 2021 in a search for evidence of widespread voter fraud. Her charges include allegations of identity theft, criminal impersonation, official misconduct and violating her duties as a county clerk.

UPDATE: Guilty on seven counts!
