An attorney representing Tina Peters, the former Colorado county clerk convicted in a scheme to breach voting systems in search of evidence of election fraud in 2020, expects the state's Democratic governor to grant her clemency within days. The move would come after an aggressive pressure campaign by President Donald Trump and his allies.

"I'm expecting her to get the commutation today or tomorrow," Peters' attorney, Peter Ticktin, told ABC News. "I don't think it's going to even go into next week."

Peters, a former Mesa County clerk, was convicted in 2024 for giving an individual affiliated with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Trump ally, access to the election software she used for her county. Screenshots of the software appeared on right-wing websites that promoted false theories that the 2020 election was fraudulent.

Despite Trump's repeated assertions that the election was rigged, there were no proven cases of major fraud that affected the outcome.

1. WTFF?!

[Buddyzbuddy]

2. If that were to happen in this political climate,

it would probably mark the end of the Governor's future political aspirations. IMHO.

[Skittles]

3. therein lies the big question

WHY

[newdeal2]

6. Is there a recall mechanism in Colorado?

This guy would be worthy of it.

[Ray Bruns]

4. Is there anyone left in this country who still has their spine?

[TommyT139]

5. I'm sure Rethugs will be similarly lenient

...the next time a person of color or presumed-Democrat mistakenly casts a vote when they weren't supposed to.


How about the Gov reviews cases prosecuted by Rethugs, and treats Tina Peters likewise?

[Scrivener7]

7. He should be primaried, then.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. He is term-limited and can't run again except after a 4-year break (already served 2 terms)

[JT45242]

8. Let's hope this is just lawyer lying for political pressure on the gov

Giving pardons to all the election deniers and coup participants just tells them that in 26 & 28 they can be more violent to try to overthrow the other party.

[LymphocyteLover]

9. Ridiculous... let's hope he doesn't. But Gov Polis has been a bit squirrelly since this 2nd term of the hellbeast

[Vinca]

11. To be fair to the governor, fire season is on the horizon and federal help will be pay to play with Trump.

[uncle ray]

14. that's about the only compelling reason.

which should be saved for if/when it happens, which is quite likely considering the extremely dry winter we've had, leaving us with record low snowpack this year.

i'm not saying it's right, just the reality of this transactional president.

[kacekwl]

12. Someone should check if he has

received and 50 ooo $ paper bag recently.

[AllyCat]

13. Why do Democrats hand the Republicans wins like this?

How is this woman not fit to serve her sentence?

[bluestarone]

15. WTF? Hope this is just talk, BUT i fear it will happen.

Seems like everyday we go through this.

[travelingthrulife]

16. These fucking stupid governors. WHY on earth would he do such a thing?

[Scruffy1]

18. Money. n/t

[Nigrum Cattus]

17. what a worthless coward
