DENVER — Gov. Jared Polis appears to be signaling that he is open to granting some form of clemency to Tina Peters, as he extends the deadline for such applications.
In an X post on Tuesday, Polis cited sentencing disparities between former State Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis, who was sentenced to probation, and the former Mesa County election clerk Peters, who was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Both former elected officials faced separate cases and were convicted of multiple felony counts, including attempt to influence a public official.
Peters, who is pleading for clemency after a failed presidential pardon, was found guilty on seven state charges, four of which are felonies. She was convicted of orchestrating a data breach scheme based on false claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
By contrast, Lewis was convicted of four felony counts for sending fraudulent letters of support to the Colorado Senate Ethics Committee, which was looking into claims she mistreated her employees.
Polis highlighted these differences in his post, stating, “It is not lost on me that [Lewis] was convicted of the exact same felony charge as Tina Peters — attempting to influence a public official — and yet Tina Peters, as a non-violent first time offender, got a nine year sentence.”

The sooner the better.
He should be in prison for holding a political prisoner.
Polis is a POS. He is only doing this because someone at DOJ must be leaning on him for something uglier.
Maybe the FBI is about to raid his election office.

Huh? Peters most definitely deserves consideration here. But what’s with the above quote? Is it some kind of swipe at Trump?
Peters was convicted of state crimes. Trump has no power to pardon state crimes. None at all.
Liar, liar...
The really seem to be emphasizing the “false claims” angle.
Probably the Governor will keep her locked up until she retracts her claims and apologizes.
Let's hope so.
Meanwhile, what we do know is that he arranged probation for a state official who violated election laws by helping a Dem candidate who was at the time trying to win an election.
On the other hand, in the Peters case, he turns his head when another state official gets 9 years for actions taken AFTER an election won by a Dem, only in order to determine whether there was fraud in that election.
With friends like that...
Peters’ sentence is just an outrage. Even if he doesn’t want to pardon her, a commutation is 100% justified.
Trump talks big, but if he had a hair on his ass, he’d send US Marshals backed by the 82nd Airborne to that Colorado Prison, rescue Tina, and put her into witness protection. Colorado is in a conspiracy to violate her civil rights and Blondie and Kash should be on it. Peters followed the law and tried to preserve the election records when Jena Ellis tried to illegally delete them. But he’d need Miriam Adelson’s permission. But SOS Ellis, AG Weiser and Gov Polis are in the protected class.
This is no different than a sheriff in Alabama or Mississippi in the 60s arresting someone for registering black voters. The US AG could sure as hell go take custody of the prisoner, and take along all the muscle needed to ensure no resistance.
But it’s more fun fiddle farting around the globe.

He’s feeling heat. I have a feeling there’s a lot of dirt on him that hasn’t been brought to light.
