Polis Commutes Tina Peters Sentence, Sets June 1 Release

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order granting parole to former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was serving a nine-year sentence for tampering with county election equipment, according to NBC News. The move follows an April 2 Colorado Court of Appeals ruling that the sentencing judge improperly weighed Peters' beliefs about the 2020 election; said the court: "Her offense was not her belief... it was her deceitful actions in her attempt to gather evidence of such fraud."
