Peters’ team says she was denied bond to keep her from speaking out, but the magistrate appeared skeptical of whether he could order her release.

Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ effort to get a federal court to free her on bond while she appeals her state conviction was met with apparent skepticism by a federal magistrate during a hearing Tuesday.
Last October, a state judge sentenced Peters to nine years on charges stemming from her efforts to help a man gain unauthorized access to Mesa County’s Dominion voting machines in 2021. She’s currently incarcerated at La Vista Correctional Facility, a medium-security facility for women located in Pueblo.
