Tina Peters, 70, was convicted in October 2024 of facilitating unauthorized access to Mesa County's voting systems, seeking to uncover evidence of alleged election fraud. This breach led to sensitive election data being leaked online. She was later sentenced to nine years in prison at La Vista Correctional Facility.

Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, convicted in a pro-Trump election denial scheme, has been attacked three times in prison, according to her lawyer.

A federal magistrate judge on Monday rejected a bid by a former county clerk to be released from Colorado prison while she appeals her October 2024 conviction for charges related to allowing unauthorized access to voting machines in 2022.

According to the judge, the 2020 election denier's pending appeal in state court bars a federal court from intervening.
