   Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser; “Whatever happens with her sentence, Tina Peters will always be a convicted felon who violated her duty as Mesa County clerk, put other lives at risk and threatened our democracy. Nothing will remove that stain,” Weiser said in a statement.”

   – back to the same judge found to have imposed her lengthy sentence in part to prevent her from spreading “damaging” beliefs:

   The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled today (April 2, 2026) that Tina Peters’ 9-year prison sentence must be thrown out and the case sent back for resentencing. The three-judge panel found that the trial court judge improperly based part of the original sentence on Peters’ continued exercise of her First Amendment right to free speech—specifically, her persistent claims about the 2020 election.

   Convictions upheld:
   Peters remains guilty on the felonies and misdemeanors related to the voting-equipment breach in Mesa County.

   Sentence vacated:
   The appeals court said the trial judge’s comments showed the lengthy sentence was imposed, at least in part, to punish or silence her for “espousing the views that led her to commit these crimes” and to prevent her from continuing to spread what the judge called “damaging” beliefs.

   Next step: The case goes back to the original trial judge (Matthew Barrett) for a new sentencing hearing. The appeals court rejected Peters’ request for a different judge.

   These people are insane to have sentenced her to longer than most rapists.
