Tina Peters’ Escape from Devil’s Island
Chronicles ^ | 2 Jun, 2026 | John Zmirak

Yesterday, a great evil came to an end as former Colorado election official Tina Peters was finally freed from prison. Like so many Americans who have been targeted in the last decade by biased prosecutors, Peters never belonged there in the first place. Peters was railroaded at the insistence of election officials in Colorado who were trying to punish her for her investigation of the compromised 2020 presidential election. Singled out as she was for exemplary punishment, Peters was subjected to abusive conditions and periodic assaults by fellow prisoners. All of this was for following her conscience as county clerk and recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, in acting to prevent and detect election fraud.

Concerned (correctly) that there was evidence of fraud in the 2020 presidential race in her county, she made copies of voting data before it could be destroyed—an act that Colorado authorities convinced a biased judge was criminal. Although her political enemies clearly hoped that she wouldn’t outlive her long, outrageous sentence, it was recently and mercifully commuted by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, thanks in part to pressure brought on them by the Trump administration.

Peters’ full story deserves to be made into a movie about the corruption of justice in our country.

...right, so you believe that her attempt to stop a crooked, criminal attempt to wipe clean evidence of ELECTION FRAUD deserved a long jail term engineered by the cheaters?! Congrats for ignoring reality and siding with the cheaters... your attitude will doom us to the continued fraud in elections as seen in CA now ... ymmv

I think it was deleted.

I am a cyber security expert, not just some IT nerd who took the CISSP test, but a credentialed graduate degreed engineer with NSA/CISA credentials as a CISO/CPSO and do this as part of my corporate job protecting billions in assets. I routinely defend intellectual property, perform forensics investigations, and provide evidence to courts.

I offered to help her multiple times, but never heard back. I knew the dangers she was headed into, and I knew how to get the information she wanted legally, through the courts, to keep the evidence from being destroyed. The Trump org also needed her to cooperate, but she didn’t.

She went rogue and screwed it all up by breaking into secured facilities.

Even if she had got her hands on the materials but without legal protections and proof of provenance the materials could have become worthless as evidence.

Her actions gave the democrats time to destroy the evidence and helped greatly to discredit the entire stolen election efforts nationwide. She was held up as a typical republican kook, which was not true. She was the exception. The election was stolen, but her actions helped destroy the credibility we needed to prove it.

I did. I also know the AG is a liar and corrupt. As is the whole group who prosecuted her. If you believed the crimes as listed that Trump was prosecuted for, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

That same AG publicly exposed and broadcast passwords for those same machines for seven months prior to an election.

Why isn’t she in prison?

She had the ability to make these stolen election facts known publicly but chose to do things that were not productive to that end.

I am not impressed with this criticism of Tina Peters.

She did not have the technical ability to make the necessary file backups or analyze them. She found a consultant to do that.

She did not have administrative authority to hire that consultant within a time frame before the records would become unavailable. Hence the workarounds that were considered "felonies", in order to allow the consultant to access files.

She found definitive evidence of election record tampering, activated by remote access procedures run by the Dominion corporation. Further assessments could not be completed before she was charged, arrested, and removed from her position.

The real "felony" Tina Peters committed was to find evidence of systemic election manipulations by the Democrats and the Dominion corporation, the Democrat's corporate ally.

Election fraud in Colorado is a real problem and will not be fixed by "moar voting". The margin of fraud is large enough that Democrats will always win "elections" in the critical front-range cities, and the rest of the State is irrelevant.

Nor can this problem be fixed in Colorado courts. The persecution of Tina Peters made that extremely clear.

She had the ability to get a court order.

You forget to mention that part.

Apparently not, or she probably would not have taken these risks. You can’t believe much out of the Colorado hierarchy anymore.

In no way should Tina or anyone outside of a controlled process have touched, copied, or interfaced with those computers, memory cards, or anything electronic. It destroys the provenance, rendering any information gathered useless as evidence.

Her “finding a consultant” was nothing less than destruction of the evidence itself.

Nonsense. She chose poorly.

We will be seeing more of Tina Peters during upcoming election fraud cases. Now she’s free to testify.

No Peters committed no felonies or any other crimes. Stop spreading lies.

This stuff in Colorado governent definitely needs to come to an end as far as I’m concerned. Living in a closeby state, I won’t even visit there anymore & it is not All because of Denver traffic, tho that’s a good enough reason. The present administration makes it about as bad as Calif., a state that Used to be a good place to live, just as Colo. was also...once upon a time.

“She had the ability to make these stolen election facts known publicly but chose to do things that were not productive to that end.”

Could it be that she was worried about what the people behind the fraud she was exposing might do? And so she was trying to do it relatively anonymously? Not excusing the “crimes”, just speculating on possible motives.

I seem to get the impression that somehow it was made to be an illegality for someone to check up on a system that was already operating illegally. Anyone else feel this way or am I wrong?

I did not forget that part about a court order.

...Which she was not going to get before the records became physically unavailable.

Let's stop pretending she had "legal" methods available to do the part of her job that supposedly ensures election integrity. The County Clerk job regarding "election security" in Colorado is to do whatever the Democrats tell them to do - or not to do. "Don't make waves" is the real instruction.

And you might have noticed that Colorado Secretary of State (Jenna Griswold, Democrat) had confidential passwords for all of the Dominion Voting machines published in an Excel spreadsheet that was freely accessible on the official Colorado SOS website, if you knew where to look for it.

I don't recall anyone in her office getting into trouble about that.

LOL. Keep thinking that.

Peter’s heart was in the right place, but the execution by her to prove election fraud was keystone cops in nature.

Oh I see you have come out of hiding to troll for the left right on schedule. I was afraid you’d disappear once Joe left office and the paychecks stopped. 😆

It’s okay. You got busted for making a false claim. It happens.

You have a inside perspective on this most people do not have.

What she tried only works in TV and movies, not real life.

The anti-Weaponization fund Trump tried to set up was exactly for this type of wrongful government persecution/prosecution:

“The $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” is a taxpayer-funded settlement established by the Department of Justice in May 2026 to compensate individuals claiming they were victims of political ‘weaponization and lawfare.’”

The fund has been temporarily halted, hopefully it will be reinstated.
