Tina Peters, the pro-Trump Colorado election official who helped steal voters’ data, was convicted on seven felony counts related to election tampering this week, but remains defiant in her claims that “vote flipping software” is rigging elections.
Peters was indicted in March 2022 for her role in allowing an unauthorized person to tamper with election equipment during the 2020 presidential election while serving as Mesa County’s Clerk and Recorder.
Peters has long been a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump’s debunked allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Peters’s conviction made her the first pro-Trump election official convicted for crimes related to proving Trump’s claims of voter fraud.
Peter’s indictment stemmed from her participation in a plot to break into election machines under her supervision and copy data from them to prove fraud — instead voter information from the machines appeared online in August 2021, published in part by QAnon-affiliated conspiracy theorists like Ron Watkins.
Authorities took note of the leaked voter information and began an investigation, which resulted in Peter’s indictment.

On Monday, a jury found Peters guilty of all but three felony counts and she is now facing a possible jail sentence. Peters was on Steve Bannon’s War Room on Tuesday and did not back down from her claims of election fraud, which have been widely debunked by election audits and failed court challenges.
“It’s hard to predict what they’ll do. I am a big threat to them. And, so the things that were done in this trial that people can go back and watch on Frank Speech (Mike Lindell’s platform) was just atrocious,” Peters raged.
She added, “I mean, we’re going to continue to fight this in the law. And in the meantime, until they either kill me or put me in prison. You know, I’m going to keep speaking out about the injustice, about what’s going on in these big multinational global corporations that are that have these vote flipping software, that is basically, is in Serbia. We’ve already shown that people in my, that I’m accused of influencing, there’s emails between them and Serbia and
“This community has suffered greatly from the dishonesty, lack of transparency and refusal of Ms. Peters to take accountability,” Mesa County District Attorney Daniel P. Rubinstein told USA TODAY in a statement after the verdict.
“Our system of government is based upon checks and balances, and no single elected official, or even branch of government, is above the law or should be allowed to act without those checks and balances,” Rubinstein added.
