Colorado elections clerk set to be released from prison Monday based on her sentence commutation
The former Colorado elections clerk served less than a quarter of her nine-year sentence after a commutation by Gov. Jared Polis, court records show.
- Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is scheduled for release from the Vista Correctional Facility on Monday after serving less than a quarter of her nine-year sentence for breaching the county's Dominion Voting Systems server.
- Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted her sentence on May 15 following pressure from President Donald Trump, writing that the nine-year term was "extremely unusual and lengthy" for a first-time, non-violent offender.
- Peters snuck in an expert affiliated with Pillow Chief Executive Mike Lindell to copy the Dominion Voting Systems server in 2021, later appearing at a "Cybersymposium" promising to reveal proof the election was rigged.
- Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold called the commutation a "dark day for democracy," yet Peters remains a felon because the sentence was commuted rather than pardoned.
- Her two co-conspirators faced significantly lighter penalties than Peters, with one receiving six months in prison and the other being granted parole immediately.
