Tina Peters, the former clerk of Mesa County, Colo., was sentenced on Thursday to nine years in prison after being found guilty in August of tampering with voting machines under her control in a failed attempt to prove that they had been used to rig the 2020 election against former President Donald J. Trump.

At a hearing in Grand Junction, Colo., Judge Matthew D. Barrett scolded Ms. Peters sternly from the bench, telling her he had imposed the severe penalty because she had repeatedly advanced false claims about Mr. Trump’s defeat and in so doing become a celebrity among those who denied that he lost the race.

“But you are no hero, you abused your position and you are a charlatan,” Judge Barrett said, adding, “You cannot help but lie as easy as you breathe.”

Peters was a public official who used her position to advance a lie. The sentence was harsh, but in propagating the lie of election fraud she engaged in fraud by tampering with election machines. She will have plenty of time to mull over her crimes in jail.

It goes to show the biggest purveyors of election fraud have always been MAGA.
 
Right? Meanwhile Democrat prosecutors routinely RELEASE violent repeat criminals and turn them loose on Americans. We are living in Democrat Bizarro World.
WTF does you post have to do with the OP? So, are you fine with election fraud or are you not?
 
She was convicted by a jury. Why do you think it is okay for people to rig and cheat in our elections?
No, but apparently you do. That is what the government is doing. Not people like Peters.

I see a pardon her future.
 
She attempted to tamper with the election machines. She was effectively doing what she was accusing others of doing.
No question she illegally accessed these machines, but it was a year after the election.

Anybody that publicly alleges that voter fraud occurred must be imprisoned for life. Thirteen years is way too lenient.
