Colorado's governor on Friday announced that he is commuting the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. She's serving time for election interference for allowing unauthorized access to voting machines following the 2020 presidential election. She was sentenced to serve over eight years in state prison in October 2024.
President Trump has urged Gov. Jared Polis to take the action, and Polis has said he would consider the move, but he gave no indication about a timeline for such an action. On Friday, he made the announcement by sending out a news release stating that he is granting clemency to 44 people, including Peters.
Peters' parole will be effective on June 1, according to Polis.
