A former Colorado county election official has been sentenced to nine years in prison for tampering with voting machines after the 2020 presidential election.
Tina Peters, a Republican, was convicted last August on most counts against her in the election interference case.
Peters helped breach Mesa County’s election computer systems and allowed an unauthorised individual to access voting equipment and election records.
She carried out the breach amid unsubstantiated claims that mass voter fraud had caused Donald Trump to lose the last White House election.
