A 12-person Colorado jury convicted a former Republican county clerk of seven criminal charges
Monday including felony attempt to influence a public servant,
earmarking another conviction tied to post-2020 election conspiracy theories.
Election denier Tina Peters, 68, was indicted in March 2022 after prosecutors said
she improperly permitted someone to copy access passwords and other files from a
secure voting system and post them online, exposing the machines to hackers.
Following a nearly two-week trial before Judge Matthew Barrett in Denver,
prosecutors said jurors found Peters guilty of three felony counts of attempting to
influence a public servant and one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation.
She was also convicted of first-degree official misconduct, failure to comply with an order from the Secretary of State and violation of duty
all misdemeanor charges.
