A Colorado county elections clerk who was jailed after being accused of plotting to breach voting system technology that is used across the U.S. made her first court appearance by video Thursday.
Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters made no comment during the brief hearing before District Court Judge Matthew Barrett as she watched remotely from the county detention center. Peters surrendered to authorities Wednesday following a grand jury indictment alleging she was part of a “deceptive scheme” to breach state elections systems in the western Colorado county.
