Sullivan: Ticktin’s legal maneuver revives Tina Peters’ constitutional challenge

By Jason Sullivan | Commentary, The Gateway Pundit What was expected to be the quiet dismissal of Tina Peters’ federal habeas petition — challenging a state court ruling that denied her bond — became one of the most dramatic legal turnarounds in recent memory, as Trump attorney Peter Ticktin and his team delivered a precise, devastating First Amendment argument that stopped the court in its tracks. The federal court in Colorado — now entertaining jurisdiction under a habeas corpus petition — has formally agreed to receive refined constitutional arguments by this Friday, July 25, focused exclusively on whether Tina Peters is being unlawfully imprisoned for her political speech — a violation of her First Amendment rights that, if confirmed, could result in her immediate release on bond...

DOJ requests Colorado’s 2020 and 2024 voter data—Griswold’s ‘Gold Standard’ gets tested

By Heather Willard | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado’s Secretary of State revealed Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice asked Colorado to turn over all records that relate to the 2024 federal elections and preserve all records from the 2020 election. The election official sent an email highlighting reporting by NPR, which said the DOJ request was made on May 12. “What they’re going to do with all this data, I don’t know,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, told NPR and shared with FOX31 via email. “But I’m sure they will use it to push their ridiculous disinformation and lies to the American public.” Colorado elections noticed by Trump admin previously Colorado’s elections have been heralded by Griswold and other officials as being the “gold ...

Don Jr. helps launch American Rights Alliance to fight for Tina Peters

by Jenn Baker | Gateway Pundit Few names evoke as much passion—and as much injustice—as Tina Peters. She is a Gold Star Mother, a cancer survivor, and a whistleblower whose only crime was fulfilling her oath. As the duly elected Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, Tina uncovered what she believed were unlawful alterations and software deletions in her county’s election system. Her response wasn’t partisan—it was principled: preserve the records, protect the truth, and serve the people. But the system she served didn’t protect her. It came after her like an angry mob. Arrested. Raided. Vilified. Silenced. Tina Peters has faced one of the most politically vindictive prosecutions in modern history—all for trying to ensure transparency in the very foundation of our Republic: our ele...

Two CVRs, one pattern: Arapahoe County rewrote its election record, critics say–and no one’s accountable

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Arapahoe County quietly replaced its 2020 general election cast vote record (CVR) in early 2025 – years after the election was certified. The change came without public notice, audit, or oversight. The reason? A Yale professor raised concerns about a strange pattern in the data. That pattern, according to a growing number of analysts and lawmakers, was more than just strange. It was statistically impossible. “This is like flipping a coin 3,500 times and getting heads every time,” said Dr. Walter Daugherity, a Harvard-trained computer scientist who presented forensic findings at a press conference held Tuesday on the west steps of the Colorado Capitol. RMV covered the lead-up to the event in a story titled Analyst to reveal altered Arapahoe 20...

“They didn’t think I had it”: Tina Peters on evidence, betrayal and faith behind bars

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice In a jailhouse visit marked by resilience, revelation and restrained emotion, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters offered a window into the chapter of her life that has largely unfolded behind bars.  For two-and-a-half hours on May 18, we sat across from each other in a controlled visitation room. No pens or paper were allowed, so what follows is drawn from a memory still sharp with immediacy, and a recorded voice memo I made in my truck just moments after we said goodbye. Peters wore standard prison-issued clothing and a DOC patch with her name and inmate number sewn on. I bought her a cappuccino from the vending machine and a Butterfinger, which I had to unwrap and place on a paper plate before handing it to her across the table. She ...

Trump orders DOJ to take ‘all necessary action’ to secure release of Tina Peters

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial President Donald Trump on Monday called for Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who was sentenced to nine years in jail in October over charges related to the 2020 election, to be freed. He said that he has directed the Department of Justice to take "all necessary action" to secure her release. "Radical Left Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser ignores Illegals committing Violent Crimes like Rape and Murder in his State and, instead, jailed Tina Peters, a 69-year-old Gold Star mother who worked to expose and document Democrat Election Fraud," Trump wrote. "Tina is an innocent Political Prisoner being horribly and unjustly punished in the form of Cruel and Unusual Punishment." "This is a Communist persecution by the Radical ...

Boebert presses FBI, joins Trump and allies rallying to free ‘political prisoner’ Tina Peters

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice A 69-year-old grandmother with no prior record is serving nearly a decade in prison. Now, Donald Trump and Lauren Boebert are calling her what they believe she is: a political prisoner. Rep. Lauren Boebert is demanding federal action on behalf of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County Clerk sentenced to nine years in prison over her efforts to preserve election records following the 2020 election. In a March 21 letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Boebert called the case a “staggeringly harsh” example of political prosecution and urged the bureau to investigate potential violations of Peters’ civil rights. “This is about justice and freedom,” Boebert said during a May 7 appearance on The Jeff and Bill Show, hosted by Jeff Hunt and RMV’s own Tori G...

Flawed filing stalls Peters’ release bid as DOJ weighs in and President Trump demanding action

By Michael Karlik | Colorado Politics A federal judge on Monday warned former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters that her request to be released while she appeals her 2024 criminal convictions appears to be brought improperly and may be subject to dismissal. Jurors convicted Peters for her role in a security breach of her office's voting equipment. She is currently serving a nine-year sentence of incarceration. While the state's Court of Appeals reviews her conviction, Peters has filed a federal petition for "habeas corpus," a legal tool used to challenge one's confinement. Specifically, Peters is seeking to be released on bond while her appeal moves forward in state court. In a May 5 order, Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak identified a problem with the petition....

In Nevada court Thursday election fraud findings were correlated to the fraud findings of Tina Peters

By Martel Maxim  | Joe Hoft.com In Nevada Court Today, Election Fraud Findings Were Correlated to the Fraud Findings of Tina Peters. Today wasn’t just another day in the Nevada Court System. The Election Manipulation case brought by Andy Thompson vs. the NV Secretary of State -( Case # A-24-906377-C ) continued this morning in downtown Las Vegas, and lasted for about an hour. At the heart of the matter is that the numbers just don’t add up from the 2024 Election, even though President Trump won there. Andy is also fighting hard to prevent destruction of the 2022 election results that will likely further substantiate all his findings. This isn’t a partisan issue, it’s an American issue. Without honest elections, America is a 4th world country. Because this is a pro-se ca...

American Rights Alliance files amicus brief, backs Tina Peters’ habeas petition over political targeting

By yourNEWS | yournews.com Denver, CO — Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is seeking release from detention through a federal habeas corpus petition, alleging that her prosecution and incarceration violate federal law and her constitutional rights. The case, Tina Peters v. John Feyen and Philip J. Weiser, Civil Action No. 1:25-cv-00425-STV, is currently before U.S. District Court Judge Scott T. Varholak in the District of Colorado. Peters, convicted at the state level for actions taken while serving as the chief election official for Mesa County during the 2020 election, is now challenging the legitimacy of her prosecution.
