Trump Supporter Convicted of Election Fraud Says She Can't Go to Prison Because They Don't Have Her Special Mattress

A former Colorado county clerk and Donald Trump supporter says she can't fulfill her nine-year prison sentence for election interference because she needs a special mattress, according to a report.

On Thursday, Republican official Tina Peters was convicted on multiple counts, including conspiracy and official misconduct, in relation to efforts to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election win.

According to the New York Times, Peters allowed a man connected to fellow Trump ally and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to access to her county's election system, believing the 2020 election was stolen from the former president.

At the time of her sentencing, Peters pleaded with District Judge Matthew Barrett to change his ruling citing injuries that require special sleeping arrangements and because she was a "child of God."

"First of all, I need a magnetic mattress. I've been on that since 1995," Peters told the judge, according to a video obtained by journalist Ron Filipkowski. "And I will not have that at the Department of Corrections."

This led Judge Barrett to criticize Peters for her lack of remorse and persistent defiance.

"You're as defiant as a defendant that this court has ever seen," Barrett said.

Peters was immediately taken into custody and transported to the Mesa County Detention Center. She is eligible to appeal her sentence within 21 days.
