Peters, 70, had her nine-year sentence commuted by Colorado Governor Jared Polis and appeared on Steve Bannon's show, where she reiterated her allegations regarding the 2020 election and the upcoming midterms. She stated, 'I know that the Democrats are going to cheat,' referencing various elections across the country.
