(WND)—Tina Peters, the former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk, was taken to court in her state for trying to preserve records from the 2020 presidential election. She was sent to prison, only to be released later when an appeals court ruled her sentence was based on her speech, which is illegal.
Now she’s in line to take on a new job, as an elections official, in Shasta County, California.
Leftists in that state are erupting in rage, demanding she be in prison, not in a government office.
In Colorado, leftist prosecutors lined up charges against her for apparently giving someone access to government records. Of course, the state’s Democrat secretary of state, Jena Griswold, did essentially the same thing, posting election systems passwords online, and was given a pass by prosecutors.
Peters, a Gold Star mother, became a favorite of Donald Trump who applied pressure to Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, whose all-Democrat state Supreme Court tried to take Trump off the 2024 ballot, and the governor effectuated Peters’ release after an appeals court ruled her prison term was unconstitutional.
Now a report at the Hill confirms Peters has been offered the role as assistant registrar of voters for Shasta County, in northern California.
“In an appearance on ‘The Northstate Breakdown,’ Clint Curtis, a Shasta County clerk and registrar of voters, stated that he planned to hire Peters to replace Brent Turner, his top deputy, who has been on medical leave,” the report said.
Curits said, “He [Turner] got sick on me. He’s on there until Sept. 4, at that point I have decided who I’m going to pull in for the assistant role. That will be Tina Peters.”
“She has experience … and she’s able to take the rocks and arrows,” Curtis continued.
Among those enraged was Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat, immediately demanded she be fired.
The Hill said, “Prosecutors in the Peters case said she brought in a person to make a copy of the county’s voter systems, with the aim of exposing alleged fraud. Peters later claimed that she was trying to preserve election records in case Trump’s claim of widespread voter fraud was proven valid.”
Griswold, meanwhile, had posted a long list of state election system passwords online, and left them there for weeks until Republicans noticed and called her out. She never was punished.
Peters had been sentenced to nine years in prison, but an appeals court ruled the trial court judge unconstitutionally punished her for her statements, and the sentence was tossed out. Polis then facilitated her release before any resentencing was planned.
Polis commuted her term after confirming the judge “held her speech against her.”
Padilla even went to social media to rant about his demands.
Peters, meanwhile, has returned to trying to secure America’s elections:
A report at the Denver Post, which reflects Colorado’s extreme leftism in politics, reported that a Trump assistant had earlier summoned officials from several federal agencies to discuss various events.
“The purpose of this call is to prioritize Colorado for the purposes of ensuring grants and federal support are in line with administration priorities,” explained a deputy assistant to the president to the departments of energy, transportation, interior and agriculture, as well as the Office of Management and Budget.
Colorado now is suing, claiming retaliation by the Trump administration for officials’ persecution of Peters.
The Post claimed a “senior state attorney” characterized the email as a “smoking gun” in its case.
In fact, Trump was open in his derogation of Colorado and Polis for their handling of the Peters case and ultimately hundreds of millions of dollars in funding were removed from Colorado.
Given the email, U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson claimed it “makes no sense in our democracy.”
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said the situation was “shocking” and it proved the White House conducted a scheme to weaponize the government to punish Colorado “for its lawful decisions over elections and our criminal justice system.”
He left aside the fact that the judiciary in the state actually ruled the punishment for Peters was, in fact, unconstitutional. Weiser’s agenda has been literally to sue Trump for anything, having participated in some 80 legal actions against the president.
The case has created huge impacts in Colorado, where Polis fired two members of the clemency board who opposed its handling of the Peters case.
The 2020 election circumstances included that Trump was leading Joe Biden in multiple states and they all “stopped” counting votes for the night, then resumed the next day to count literally boxes and boxes of ballots – virtually all for Joe Biden.
Further undue influences in that vote were Mark Zuckerberg’s handout of some $400 million to local election officials who often used the cash windfall to recruit voters in Democrat districts, as well as the FBI’s decision to interfere by falsely describing details about Biden family scandals found in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden as Russian disinformation.
Peters’ sentence also stood our for its harshness, as one of Polis’ friends had been convicted of similarly trying to interfere with an election and was given probation.

WorldNetDaily reported earlier on Trump’s opinion of Polis, regarding the Peters case.
He had said, before the governor’s change of heart, Polis can “rot in Hell.”
On social media, Trump posted, “God Bless Tina Peters, who is now, for two years out of nine, sitting in a Colorado Maximum Security Prison, at the age of 73, and sick, for the ‘crime’ of trying to stop the massive voter fraud that goes on in her State (where people are leaving in record numbers!). Hard to wish her a Happy New Year, but to the Scumbag Governor, and the disgusting ‘Republican’ (RINO!) DA, who did this to her (nothing happens to the Dems and their phony Mail In Ballot System that makes it impossible for a Republican to win an otherwise very winnable State!). I wish them only the worst. May they rot in Hell. FREE TINA PETERS!”
Trump earlier announced on social media:
“For years, Democrats ignored Violent and Vicious Crime of all shapes, sizes, colors, and types. Violent Criminals who should have been locked up were allowed to attack again. Democrats were also far too happy to let in the worst from the worst countries so they could rip off American Taxpayers. Democrats only think there is one crime – Not voting for them! Instead of protecting Americans and their Tax Dollars, Democrats chose instead to prosecute anyone they can find that wanted Safe and Secure Elections. Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the “crime” of demanding Honest Elections. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!”
Colorado officials then bragged that Trump’s pardon had no impact on state charges against Peters.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
