@johnd.8224 Incorrect. Ultimately it’s at the judge’s discretion whether to allow video recording, even in a public trial. In a public trial that doesn’t allow video recording, courtroom artists have generally been allowed to draw the proceedings. This has been the practice for decades, and the fact that you don’t know this indicates you’re speaking from ignorance as if you are an expert.

@veronicaleon8075 I’m not familiar with Colorado election law, but if there was no procedure, you’d take it to a judge. The first thing you’d ask the judge would be for the appropriate agency (or closest to appropriate) to take custody of the machine and seal it until the appropriate experts could examine it. That’s what anyone would do if they wanted public transparency and to avoid the sneaking around. I remember a time when Republicans were great respecters of the law and truth. Some still are, obviously. Look at Rusty Bowers down in Arizona. But far too many have lost touch with that and other conservative values. They approve of what Peters did or see nothing wrong with what she did. I left the GOP in 2006 for other reasons, but looking at the party now gives me a tingle of shame. How did it come to this?

Who cares if it funds “democrat priorities” if it’s also funding “republican priorities”? That’s called compromise through negotiation. This MAGA breed is more concerned with creating government disfunction because it makes democrats mad. Give me a solid conservative that knows how to negotiate and work out a deal any day of the week.

10-12 years sentenced with 7-8 served and then supervised release for the remainder sounds about right—depending on if she ever shows remorse, of course. I don’t want to go lightly on these people, but I think she (and many others) are suffering from a form of mass psychosis. She really believes that non-maga people and anti-trump people (in other words, us) are the enemy trying to destroy the country. I feel great pity for anyone, whether a schizophrenic or a Trump supporter, suffering from deep delusional mental states. Still, criminal acts have consequences, and Peters must do her time.

@brianpottorff9779 and what’s the longest concurrent sentences? 5 or 6 years?

@zeroyou3060 Normal practice when the different charges are all components of the same crime is concurrent. If Peters had broken into more than one machine, each machine could be considered a separate crime, and then you probably would see consecutive sentences.
