<div> A former Colorado county clerk, Tina Peters, who made headlines as the first election official to face charges related to the 2020 presidential election, has been found guilty on seven out of ten charges. Among the charges, four are felonies, including attempting to influence a public servant. Prosecutors argued that Peters had given an investigator associated with Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow, another county official’s ID badge. Lindell is known for his prominent role in denying the legitimacy of the 2020 election after former President Donald Trump’s defeat. Peters gained some notoriety in the conspiracy-laden world of Lindell, speaking at far-right conferences and rallies hosted by him. In 2022, she attempted to leverage her newfound fame as an election denier to run for Colorado secretary of state but lost in the Republican primary. This is not the first legal trouble Peters has faced, as she was previously sentenced to house arrest for a separate misdemeanor obstruction case. In that case, she refused to hand over her iPad to investigators who had a warrant. Peters is now awaiting sentencing on October 3, which could potentially include prison time for the felony charges.
