Newly-Freed Tina Peters Drops Ominous Warning About Democrat Cheating in the Upcoming Midterms

One of the first things Tina Peters did after her release from Colorado’s La Vista Correctional Facility on Monday morning was to drop a stark warning about this year's midterm elections: there will be rampant cheating by Democrats. Peters, a former Colorado elections clerk, said in an appearance on Steve Bannon's podcast that not only will Democrats cheat, but not enough is being done right now to prevent it from happening.

“I see these elections that are taking place in real time: the Mamdanis, the Virginia governor — Spanberger — and then what’s going on in California and Texas and Maine — just all over the country,” Peters told Bannon. “And I know that the Democrats are going to cheat, and no one’s really addressing the problem that I spent my time in prison as retribution for, and that was exposing the election machines that allow the votes to be flipped.”

As RedState's Bob Hoge reported earlier Monday, Peters was released from prison after Colorado's Democrat governor, Jared Polis, commuted her sentence (and much to the consternation of many of his fellow Democrats). The 70-year-old Peters was serving a nine-year sentence for her role in breaching Mesa County's voting equipment in 2021.

The 70-year-old former Colorado elections clerk was released Monday following Gov. Jared Polis’ May commutation of her nine-year sentence on felony charges for her role in breaching the county's election voting systems and equipment in 2021. She was concerned that there were irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, where Joe Biden received a mind-bending 81 million votes despite campaigning mostly from his basement.

In her chat with Bannon, Peters called her release a "miracle" and revealed that her 606 days in prison were "quite the ordeal." She used some of that time to monitor the 2025 elections of Zohran Mamdani in New York City and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, which led to her speculation that the cheating has continued and will be a factor in the 2026 midterms.

“As we’re coming up to our 250th anniversary, I’m joyful that we still have our liberty but at the same time I’m very concerned and burdened with why no one is talking about this,” Peters commented.

President Trump has taken steps to strengthen election integrity since taking office for the second time. In March of 2025, he signed the “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections" executive order, which directed the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require a voter-verifiable paper record and to prohibit voting systems from using barcodes or QR codes, except when necessary for disabled voters.

In addition, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has sued several states for failing to produce their voter rolls, leading Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to comment, “The Justice Department will continue to fulfill its oversight role dutifully, neutrally, and transparently wherever Americans vote in federal elections. Many state election officials, however, are choosing to fight us in court rather than show their work. We will continue to verify that all States are carrying out critical election integrity legal duties.”

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
