Tina Peters' sentence must be re-evaluated after Colorado appeals court ruling, but conviction is upheld - CBS News

Colorado's appeals court upheld Tina Peters' conviction but ruled that her sentence must be re-evaluated by a lower court. Peters, the former Mesa County clerk, was convicted in connection with a 2021 breach of election equipment that became central to false claims about Colorado's voting security. The court's decision means Peters will remain convicted but could face a different punishment on remand. Peters has been a prominent figure in election denial circles, and her case drew significant attention from those questioning the integrity of the 2020 election. The ruling leaves her conviction intact while giving the trial court an opportunity to reconsider the length of her sentence.
