Zelensky Considers Wartime Elections in Ukraine Amid Security Concerns

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed readiness to hold elections during the ongoing conflict if security can be guaranteed by the U.S. and European allies.

Federal Judge Denies Former Colorado Clerk Tina Peters' Bid for Release Amid Appeal

Federal Judge Denies Former Colorado Clerk Tina Peters' Bid for Release Amid Appeal

A federal magistrate judge has denied former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters' request to be released on bond while she appeals her state conviction. Peters was sentenced in October 2024 for orchestrating a data breach scheme related to false claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The state's attorneys argued against her release, citing a legal doctrine that prevents federal courts from intervening in pending state criminal cases. Judge Scott Varholak ruled that Peters did not present a compelling case for federal intervention. Peters, who remains unapologetic, claims her actions were intended to expose what she believed was election fraud. Her sentencing judge, Matthew Barrett, labeled her a 'charlatan' and a danger to the community for spreading misinformation about voting.
