Polis Commutes Tina Peters Sentence, Conviction Stands

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted the prison sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was convicted on seven counts including conspiracy and official misconduct for allowing unauthorized access to voting machines after the 2020 election, according to CBS News. Said Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser: "Caving in to this president will only lead to more abuse from the bullying Trump administration. Today is a sad day for Colorado and the rule of law." Peters, who faced more than eight years, will be released on parole effective June 1; her felony conviction remains.
