Democrat Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday commuted the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters \u2014 the former election clerk convicted in connection with a 2021 voting equipment breach case that became a flashpoint in the election integrity fight \u2014 drawing immediate backlash from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and praise from President Donald Trump<\/a>, who posted “FREE TINA!” on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

Polis announced clemency for 44 individuals Friday<\/a>, including 35 pardons and nine commutations, according to the governor\u2019s office. Peters was among those granted a commutation reducing her prison sentence and granting parole effective June 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

“The Clemency power is a serious responsibility, and not one that I take lightly,” Polis said in a statement announcing the clemency actions.<\/p>\n

“This power has the ability to change lives – help grant a second chance for someone who has made grave mistakes – and it comes with great consideration, and sometimes even controversy,” he added.<\/p>\n

The move immediately prompted a blistering response from Griswold, who accused Polis of legitimizing “the election denial movement.”<\/p>\n

“This clemency grant to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country,” Griswold said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n

“The Governor\u2019s actions today will validate and embolden the election denial movement, and leave a dark, dangerous imprint on American democracy for years to come,” she added.<\/p>\n

According to the executive order<\/a> signed Friday, Peters\u2019 sentence was commuted from 8 years and 3 months to 4 years and 4.5 months. The order grants her parole effective June 1, 2026, with conditions to be set by the Colorado Parole Board.<\/p>\n

“Tina M. Peters be and hereby is granted a limited commutation such that her total sentence, inclusive of time in County Jail and the Department of Corrections, is commuted to 4 years and 4.5 months, and that she is granted parole effective June 1, 2026,” the order states.<\/p>\n

The executive order also explicitly noted that the clemency action “shall not in any way affect the underlying criminal conviction<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Polis wrote in the order that “the constitutional and statutory conditions for granting this clemency petition have been satisfied, and granting this commutation is in<\/a> the interest of justice.”<\/p>\n

According to the executive order, Peters was convicted in 2024 of three counts of attempt to influence a public servant, along with conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation – cause liability, official misconduct, violation of duty elections<\/a> and failure to comply with secretary of state requirements.<\/p>\n

She had been sentenced to 8 years and 3 months in Department of Corrections custody, along with 6 months in county jail. Her mandatory release date had previously been listed in 2033, while her estimated parole eligibility date had been in 2028.<\/p>\n

Griswold\u2019s office said Peters\u2019 actions stemmed from a 2021 breach involving Mesa County voting equipment.<\/p>\n

“In 2021, then-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters compromised her county\u2019s voting equipment trying to prove conspiracies,” Griswold\u2019s office said in a release Friday.<\/p>\n

The office said Griswold responded by decertifying the county\u2019s voting equipment, working with Mesa County commissioners to remove Peters from election oversight and appointing a former Republican secretary of state to oversee the election process.<\/p>\n

Griswold\u2019s office also said Peters\u2019 actions cost Mesa County “nearly one million dollars in replacement equipment.”<\/p>\n

The secretary of state\u2019s office noted that on April 2, 2026, the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld<\/a> Peters\u2019 convictions while ordering that she be re-sentenced by the district court.<\/p>\n

Trump weighed in on the commutation Friday afternoon with a brief Truth Social post reading simply: “FREE TINA!”<\/p>\n

Peters became a nationally known figure among 2020 election skeptics following the Mesa County voting equipment breach controversy and subsequent criminal prosecution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s clemency order immediately deepened political divisions surrounding one of the highest-profile criminal prosecutions in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
