Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters, the first local election official charged with a security breach post-2020 election, was found guilty by a jury on most charges. Peters was accused of using someone else’s security badge to grant access to an expert affiliated with My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell to the Mesa County election system, deceiving officials about the person's identity.
Lindell, known for promoting false claims of election manipulation, had his online platform live-stream Peters' trial and send daily updates. Prosecutors alleged Peters sought fame and became fixated on voting issues after associating with those questioning the 2020 election results.
