Colorado Governor Jared Polis is considering whether to grant clemency to Tina Peters, a former elections clerk who is serving a nine-year prison sentence for her role in a 2020 election security breach.
On Thursday, Polis described Peters’ sentence to CBS Colorado as “harsh,” particularly given her age. Polis, who was convicted on seven charges, including four felonies for unauthorized access to election machines, is a 70-year-old lung cancer survivor.
