Tina Peters – the former clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, and her state’s most prominent 2020 election denier – was found guilty Friday of misdemeanor obstruction of a government operation, according to Mesa County’s court clerk. Peters was acquitted of obstructing a peace officer, Mesa County Court Clerk Ann Brigham said. Peters was arrested by Grand Junction police in February 2022 at a local business while state investigators attempted to execute a search warrant.
After hearing two days of testimony, a six-person jury returned the split verdicts on Peters. The verdicts come less than a year after she lost the GOP primary for secretary of state to fomer Jefferson County clerk Pam Anderson – then claimed fraud, again with no evidence. Peters was one of several vocal election conspiracy theorists to fail in their bids for higher office in 2022.
