Colorado governor considering clemency for Tina Peters

Colorado Governor Jared Polis said he was `looking at` revisiting Tina Peters' punishment and called the sentence harsh in a CBS Colorado interview.
The case stems from Peters' role in allowing unauthorized access to Mesa County voting systems in 2021, and the 70-year-old remains jailed at Pueblo state prison after her 2024 conviction.
Multiple elected officials told Polis, including Mesa County DA Dan Rubinstein, Jena Griswold, and county clerks, urged him to keep Peters incarcerated, Rubinstein met with the governor.
Polis has the authority to grant a commutation to reduce Peters' time while under Colorado Department of Corrections rules her parole eligibility is Dec. 20, 2028, with community corrections starting 19 months prior.
