Elections Colorado Clerk

A Colorado appeals court has ruled that a former county clerk convicted in a scheme that attempted to find proof of fraud in the 2020 presidential election should be resentenced. Tina Peters is serving a nine-year prison term after being convicted of state crimes for sneaking in an outside computer expert to make a copy of her county’s election computer system during a software update in 2021. Judges on the Colorado Court of Appeals said Thursday that a judge should not have considered Peters’ continued promotion of election fraud conspiracies when he sentenced her in 2024. The court sent Peters’ case back to a lower court for a judge to issue a new sentence.
