Peters was sentenced to nine years behind bars for actions related to the forensic imaging of Mesa County’s election management system in 2021.

The mainstream narrative has painted her as a criminal, but the DOJ’s sudden interest in reviewing her case suggests that even the Trump Administration sees flaws in the process that led to her conviction​. …

If a federal agency believes political motivations played a role in Peters’ conviction, it raises serious questions about whether the justice system in Colorado has been weaponized against conservatives​. …

Weiser has long maintained that Colorado’s election system is secure and that efforts to undermine it must be met with strict consequences. …

But now, with the DOJ scrutinizing Peters’ prosecution, Weiser finds himself defending not only his office’s role in the case but also the integrity of Colorado’s judicial system.

Weiser’s response to the DOJ’s review of Peters’ case was far less measured—he blasted the DOJ’s involvement as “a grotesque attempt to weaponize the rule of law.” …

While leftist activists who violate election laws often receive slaps on the wrist or outright protection against legal consequences, conservatives like Peters are aggressively prosecuted.

Case in point? The state legislature, courts and attorney general declined to take action over the Colorado Secretary of State’s publication of more than 600 BIOS passwords for voting system components across 34 of the state’s 64 counties, an exposure that was realized in October 2024. The password exposure occurred over several months, and during active elections.

The Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold faced no consequences for these actions, while Peters, with no prior criminal history, was handed a sentence typically seen for those who commit violent crimes such as first-degree kidnapping and aggravated assault. …

[The] American people—especially Coloradans—deserve answers. Is our justice system truly impartial, or has it become just another tool for silencing political opposition?
