"Gay Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) reminded Donald Trump that he cannot issue a presidential pardon for former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters. Peters was convicted of election interference in state court in August 2024, and presidential pardons cannot exonerate state-level criminal convictions. As such, Peters will continue to serve the rest of her nine-year sentence, even though Trump has threatened "harsh measures" if she isn't freed."
""Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest," Trump wrote in a Thursday Truth Social post. "Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!" Peters was convicted of seven criminal counts (including four felonies) connected to allowing an unauthorized person to access data from voting software in the county"
Colorado Governor Jared Polis stated that a presidential pardon cannot nullify a state criminal conviction, leaving former county clerk Tina Peters to serve the remainder of her nine-year sentence. Peters was convicted in August 2024 on seven counts, including four felonies, for allowing unauthorized access to county voting software data and then lying about it while pursuing a QAnon-related 2020 election conspiracy. Donald Trump posted a Truth Social message claiming to grant a full pardon and called Peters a patriot, and he threatened unspecified "harsh measures" if she was not released. Peters admitted she found no proof of election rigging, and many GOP fraud cases were dismissed for lack of evidence.
