Denver, CO – July 24, 2025 – On Tuesday, Tina Peters, former Mesa County Clerk and election integrity advocate, scored a slight victory in her habeas corpus hearing at the U.S. District Court for Colorado. A powerful First Amendment argument by attorney Peter Ticktin and the American Rights Alliance forced the court to reopen her case, halting what seemed like a certain dismissal. This is a pivotal moment in the fight to free Tina, unjustly sentenced to nine years for protecting election records. We live to fight another day—now, the pressure is on to secure her freedom.
Tina is no criminal. As Mesa County’s chief election official in 2020, she took brave steps to preserve election records, actions her legal team says were mandated by federal law. Her prosecution, widely criticized as politically motivated, violates the Supremacy Clause and her constitutional rights, per the American Rights Alliance’s brief. At 69, a widow and cancer survivor, Tina’s health is deteriorating in detention, making her release for medical care urgent.
This case is about more than Tina—it’s about election integrity and protecting those who challenge the system. The court’s decision to reconsider her case, sparked by Ticktin’s bold argument, is a call to action.
