"In 2021, she was temporarily suspended by the Colorado Secretary of State, and was convicted of criminal charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election of Joe Biden as U.S. President. In August 2024, she was convicted in Colorado state court on seven charges – four of which were felonies[5] – relating to unauthorized access to election machines."

I'm absolutely against the death penalty.

But in my opinion someone who tries to subvert democracy by overturning an election should be imprisoned for life. I don't care if it a county official commiting felonies or a supremacist court judge stopping the election to pick a candidate.

It is disgusting to see someone who tried to subvert democracy get less punishment than someone convicted of repeatedly stealing tvs from Walmart.
