The Colorado Democratic Party has censured fellow party member Gov. Jared Polis for reducing the prison sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters.

Peters, an ally of Donald Trump, was convicted in 2024 of tampering with county voting machines. She was allegedly trying to prove election rigging six months after the 2020 election, according to Colorado Public Radio. She is scheduled to be paroled on June 1.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

How dare Polis commute the sentence of anyone supported by Trump. The Demoncrats are like rabid hyenas. They want Tina Peters to rot in jail and to suffer, and they despise Polis for not prolonging it.

Sounds to me like she’ll need security starting around June 1.

I suspect the real reason she was released was because of the Presidential pardon. To the best of my knowledge a presidential pardon for a state level crime has never been tested in court. My guess is the RATs want to keep this option open for their enemies. They don’t want to take the chance that the Supreme Court takes that option away from them.

The stated reason was that a sitting Democrat in Colorado was just sentenced under the same law to only probation, after an appeals court ruled Peters had been inappropriately sentenced to 9 years in prison and had directed resentencing.

Her sentence was commuted, not pardoned, after 4 years already served.

Polis did the right thing and the Democrats are so rabid they punish him by basically telling him his political future is over. Thats how they keep their people in lockstep. These people are so evil that it’s going to take a stake to their hearts to deal with them.

Tampering with voting machines is cheating. She was only trying to PROVE cheating.
