Tina Peters
Tina Peters, the former clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, became a right-wing celebrity after she let an outsider into a secure election machine update.
The judge said that even though Peters had shown she had little respect for the law, he did not think time behind bars was warranted.
Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters demanded a recount after losing her race by more than 85,000 votes, baselessly alleging fraud.
Tina Peters is under indictment in a break-in of the countys election system to search for evidence of former President Donald Trumps election conspiracy theories.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Republican Tina Peters was charged with 13 counts, including attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation and first-degree official misconduct.
The compromised machines were decertified following a serious "security breach."
