Trial Begins for Former Colorado Clerk Tina Peters Over Alleged Election Security Breach

Peters faces multiple charges for allegedly facilitating unauthorized access to voting equipment and leaking sensitive data.

Tina Peters, a former Mesa County clerk, is accused of allowing unauthorized access to Dominion Voting Systems equipment in May 2021.
She faces charges including attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation, and identity theft.
The breach involved copying a hard drive and disabling surveillance, with the data later shared at a symposium hosted by Mike Lindell.
Two former colleagues who accepted plea deals are expected to testify against Peters.
If convicted on all counts, Peters could face up to 20 years in prison.
