Gay "sleazebag" governor says "no" to Trump's presidential pardon of a lying election clerk - LGBTQ Nation

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.

It's an Act of Intimidation': Colorado AG Pummels Trump's Pardon' of Former Election Clerk Convicted in State Court

But Peters was found guilty in state court, which means her conviction is beyond the scope of the president's pardon powers. After the 2020 election, Peters allowed an authorized person to access the county's voting machines and gather county passwords and proprietary information about the machines. Like Trump, Peters peddled conspiracy theories about the 2020 election being rigged against him. Last year, she was sentenced to nine years in prison after being convicted of tampering with voting machines.
