She said
“I will continue to fight until the Truth is revealed that was not allowed to be brought during this trial. This is a sad day for our nation and the world. But we will win in the end”
She told the judge she cannot go to prison because she need to sleep on magnetic mattress which she has been using since 1995 to assist health condition like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
Peter action came as conspiracies grew around vote tabulation machines especially those owned by Dominion Voting systems.
Dominion has fought against lies spread about machine securing a settlement from media company over its wrong claim on topic.
Anti machine emotions is still at play on right in 2024 election with some trying for hand counts.
Peters actions in Mesa county came at cost both financial County official say they are now linked this breach and with election denialism.
A county commissioner estimated the financial fallout to county taxpayers at $1.4m.
