Polis Commutes Tina Peters’ Sentence, Releasing Her From Prison

Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters was released from prison after Gov. Jared Polis commuted her nearly nine-year sentence for tampering with voting machines, directing release on parole. Polis emphasized the move is not a pardon and noted her election-denying beliefs influenced sentencing. The decision drew backlash from Democrats, while Peters’ supporters— including Trump allies— hailed it as a win; Peters is appealing her conviction and remains in the public eye as a developing political story.
