Secretary Griswold Statement on Verdict in Tina Peters Trial

Denver, August 12, 2024 - Today, a jury returned a guilty verdict on seven counts in the case People of Colorado v. Tina Peters. Secretary Griswold has issued the following statement:

“Tina Peters willfully compromised her own election equipment trying to prove Trump’s Big Lie. She has been found guilty by a jury of her peers and will now face the consequences of her actions. Today’s verdict sends a clear message: we will not tolerate any effort to threaten the security of our gold standard elections. I am proud that justice for Colorado voters has been served today.’

“As Secretary of State, I will enforce Colorado law to ensure that every eligible voter has access to safe and secure elections. I acted quickly to address the Peters election equipment breach, and then I led the first law in the nation on these types of insider threats. We will have a great general election in 2024.”
