Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters has been found guilty in a breach of her county's election computer system related to the 2020 election. The jury returned the verdict on Monday, convicting Peters on multiple charges, including four felonies and three misdemeanors. Prosecutor Janet Drake argued that Peters 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. Peters, a prominent figure among election deniers, will now face the consequences of her actions.
