Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted the sentence of Tina Peters on Friday, a former county clerk who questioned the 2020 election outcome and was facing nine years in prison.<\/p>\n

Peters was sentenced to prison for nearly a decade for a 2021 security breach of election voting machines in Mesa County, Colorado. Peters, who is now set to be released on parole June 1, had also been convicted of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, official misconduct, violation of duty, and failure to comply with the Secretary of State requirements.

Peters\u2019 mandatory release date would have been set for 2033, but she was also eligible for parole in 2028.<\/p>\n

Although her sentence was commuted by a Democrat, her upcoming release was welcomed by allies of President Donald Trump like Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, who called it a \u201clong-overdue step toward justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTina Peters, a proud Gold Star mother who lost her Navy SEAL son in service to our nation, dedicated election integrity advocate, and former Mesa County Clerk, was subjected to a politically charged prosecution that resulted in a nine-year sentence meant to make an example out of her,\u201d Boebert said in a statement on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of the relentless pressure my office and I applied, working hand-in-hand with President Donald Trump, to highlight Tina\u2019s case and demand fairness,\u201d Boebert added. \u201cThis outcome would not have been possible without the continued pressure and advocacy from President Trump, who always knew Tina deserved fairness under the law.\u201d (RELATED: Colorado Secretary Of State Website Posts \u2018Partial Passwords\u2019 To Voting Systems, Assures Public \u2018No Security Breach\u2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Trump\u2019s allies championed Peters\u2019 imminent release, Polis insisted her commutation was not to appease the president, but instead because \u201cshe was given an unusually harsh sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe committed a crime; she deserves to be a convicted felon,\u201d Polis told the New York Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s an important message we send out, that supports free speech in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
