On Monday, Red State posted an article about the release of Tina Peters from prison in Colorado.
The article reports:
Tina Peters is free.
The 70-year-old former Colorado elections clerk was released Monday following Gov. Jared Polis’ May commutation of her nine-year sentence on felony charges for her role in breaching the county’s election voting systems and equipment in 2021. She was concerned that there were irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, where Joe Biden received a mind-bending 81 million votes despite campaigning mostly from his basement.
…Although the mainstream media constantly refers to her as an “election denier,” and many Democrats portray her as the personification of evil, it was nice to see a Dem actually speaking up for free speech and against prosecutorial overreach:
In an interview with 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark, Polis said he commuted Peters’ sentence because he felt she was oversentenced for expressing inaccurate, but constitutionally protected views.
“She committed a crime. What’s an issue here is how long the sentence is,” Polis said. “I agree with the appeals court that in the sentencing hearing, the judge incorrectly looked at and considered her bizarre viewpoints, her speech, and held her speech against her.”
According to a Just the News article from November 2021:
Peters said in August at a news conference, “The Mesa County Clerk and Recorder’s office directed her staff to turn off the video surveillance of the voting equipment,” CBS 4 Denver reported.
Peters explained that she had copied files on the voting machines for security before the update was made.
“I was concerned they were going to delete important election files, I did a backup image before and after they did that,” Peters told the news outlet.
She alleges that the images showed numerous voter files were removed during the update and her job was to supervise the files.
In October, Peters was prohibited by a Mesa County judge from overseeing the county’s election in a ruling on a lawsuit filed by Griswold, according to Colorado Politics.
I don’t know if the corruption Tina Peters exposed will ever be dealt with, but at least she is free.
