Former Colorado Clerk Tina Peters Sentenced to Community Service and Home Detention for Obstruction Conviction.

Former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, who was indicted last year in a breach of her county’s election system, was sentenced to four months of home detention and 120 hours of community service for a misdemeanor obstruction conviction in a separate case. Peters, a supporter of former President Donald Trump who pushed baseless claims of election fraud in the 2020 election, had faced up to six months in jail after she was convicted last month for obstructing government operations. Peters is also facing charges of election tampering and official misconduct in connection with a security breach of Mesa County’s voting system.
