Hours after being convicted of tampering with voting machines in Colorado in the name of Donald Trump, former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters griped that the outcome was a “sad day for our nation and the world” while continuing to spout false election-related conspiracy theories about “vote-flipping software that is basically in Serbia.”

Peters was found guilty Monday on seven of ten charges after she granted unauthorized individuals access to county voting machines in order to transfer data to Trump allies. Peters faces up to 22 years in prison.

Later in the day, Peters responded to her newfound status as a felon by posting Bible quotes and spreading baseless claims about election fraud.

    “Basically” in Serbia? What does that even mean? Is the server on the border line with Bulgaria, but over 50% is on the Serbian side?

        They have all kinds of conspiracy theories for how Democrats stole the election but still let Republicans take the house and close to half of the Senate.

      The way it was likely meant to be perceived was, they don’t look like us, talk like us, or think like us.

      It’s racism, nationalism, and regular old stupidly basically.

      The people she’s talking to are accustomed to rationalizing Trump’s statements which range from purposely ambiguous to utter nonsense. None of her audience is going to demand clarity or focus of her.
