Case Tracker

The record of a case — neutral, sourced, both sides.

Neutral by design. Each entry states what the record shows, cites primary sources, and represents both sides. Status, not spin.

Status

Convicted · resentencing pending · paroled Jun 2026

Former Mesa County clerk convicted by a jury of orchestrating a breach of her county's election equipment.

Convicted August 2024 on seven counts (four felonies) for unauthorized access to voting systems. The Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the conviction 3–0 in April 2026 but ordered resentencing on First Amendment grounds. A claimed presidential pardon did not reach the state charges; the governor commuted the remaining sentence and she was released on parole June 1, 2026.

Prosecution / Petitioner

The state — and the Republican district attorney who brought the case — say she breached her own office's election equipment while pursuing false 2020-fraud claims, and that the appeals court affirmed the conviction.

Defense / Respondent

Her attorneys argue she was acting to preserve election records and that her sentence improperly punished protected speech; the appeals court agreed the sentence weighed her speech and ordered resentencing.

Colorado Court of Appeals opinion (Apr 2, 2026); contemporaneous reporting.
