“I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen,” Barrett told her in handing down the sentence. “You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan.”

Jurors found Peters guilty in August for allowing a man to misuse a security card to access to the Mesa County election system and for being deceptive about that person’s identity.

The man was affiliated with My Pillow Chief Executive Mike Lindell, a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election from then-President Trump. The discredited claims trace back to Trump himself, whose supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol because of them and who still repeats them in his third run for president.
