Tina Peters, a local elections official, was sentenced to nine years in prison for leading a data-breach scheme that undermined election security, spurred by false fraud claims.
Judge Matthew Barrett remarked that Peters showed no remorse for her actions, asserting she would likely commit the same offenses again if given the chance.
Prosecutors described Peters as seeking fame through her fixation on voting issues, which stemmed from her involvement with those questioning the 2020 election's integrity.
Peters' case highlights a significant insider threat to elections, especially as conspiracies around voting machines, particularly those from Dominion Voting Systems, continue to proliferate.
