In a stunning display of political persecution, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, a 68-year-old Gold Star mother, has been sentenced to 9 years in prison. Her crime? Daring to raise questions about election irregularities in the 2020 presidential election. Peters’ sentencing marks another chapter in the Biden-Harris administration’s continued crackdown on those who question their narrative.

Peters’ ordeal began when she attempted to preserve crucial election data in Mesa County, Colorado. The data, which Peters claims state officials intended to erase, was critical to understanding what really happened during the 2020 election. For doing what she believed was her duty to ensure the integrity of the election process, Peters was hit with a slew of charges that were politically motivated. Last month, she was convicted on seven of ten charges, including attempting to influence public servants and official misconduct.

Her defenders argue that Peters was merely safeguarding election data, especially in the face of Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s actions, which they say were aimed at wiping out records. Peters had made copies of election machine information before Griswold demanded data be erased—something Peters and her supporters maintain was illegal under Colorado law. But instead of investigating her concerns, the FBI raided her home at dawn, treating her like a dangerous criminal rather than a whistleblower.
Peters’ trial was riddled with inconsistencies, and her defense attorney, John Case, argued that her actions were well within her authority as Mesa County Clerk. But in today’s political climate, challenging the 2020 election results has become a dangerous game. Despite Peters’ pleas for leniency, Colorado District Court Judge Matthew Barrett, a Democrat appointee, handed down the harsh sentence.
Peters’ sentence is the latest example of the left’s use of the legal system as a weapon against political opponents. If you dare to challenge their version of events, they will come after you. Her sentencing should send a chill down the spine of every American who values free speech and transparency. If this can happen to Tina Peters, who will be next?
Wow, this is right out of the playbook of communist countries. I sure hope President Trump knows what she has gone through and will pardon her as soon as he gets back in office.
