Hours after being convicted of tampering with voting machines in Colorado in the name of Donald Trump, former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters griped that the outcome was a “sad day for our nation and the world” while continuing to spout false election-related conspiracy theories about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”

Peters was found guilty Monday on seven of ten charges after she granted unauthorized individuals access to county voting machines in order to transfer data to Trump allies. Peters faces up to 22 years in prison.

Later in the day, Peters responded to her newfound status as a felon by posting Bible quotes and spreading baseless claims about election fraud.

    I’m not saying that paper ballots aren’t more secure, but there wasn’t as much attention to being given to the questionable elections that got Bush elected. And yes, I do remember the “dimpled chads” in Florida. What I don’t remember was much coverage of the Brooks Brothers riot.
