Colorado elections clerk released from prison after governor commutes sentence
The former Mesa County clerk served less than a quarter of her nine-year term after a pressure campaign from Donald Trump.
- On Monday, June 1, 2026, former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters was released from the La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo after Governor Jared Polis commuted her sentence, according to the Colorado Department of Corrections.
- Convicted in 2024 for allowing unauthorized access to voting systems, Peters served about 1 year and 8 months of a nine-year sentence before Polis reduced it to 4.5 years, citing an appeals court ruling on sentencing length.
- The Colorado Democratic Party censured Governor Polis for his decision, which followed a lengthy pressure campaign by President Donald Trump, who publicly championed Peters as a hero for her efforts to prove 2020 election fraud claims.
- Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold condemned the release as a "dark day for democracy," while Peters continues appealing her convictions to the Colorado Supreme Court, maintaining her innocence.
- Election officials expressed concern that the commutation could embolden individuals attempting to interfere with upcoming midterm elections, as Peters remains active in spreading 2020 election conspiracy theories and her parole conditions remain undisclosed.
