The deputy clerk appeared in court Thursday and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of trespass, official misconduct and violation of duty.
Belinda Knisley, who has long been on administrative leave from her role as chief deputy to Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, appeared in district court in Grand Junction on Thursday and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of trespass, official misconduct and violation of duty. She was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation.
FILE - Tina Peters speaks to supporters at her election watch party in Sedalia, Colo., June 28, 2022. Peters denies she did anything illegal, contends the charges are politically motivated and has issued reports purporting to show suspicious activity within voting systems. Those claims have been debunked by various officials and experts.
State election officials learned of a security breach last summer when a photo and video of confidential voting system passwords were posted on social media and a conservative website.
