5月15日 路透社 – 科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯周五向前县选举书记员蒂娜·彼得斯授予赦免。彼得斯因在宣扬毫无根据的2020年总统选举被窃取的主张期间非法篡改投票机而被定罪。
民主党州长波利斯在写给彼得斯的赦免信中表示，他将把她的九年刑期减为已服刑时长，并下令她从6月1日起假释出狱。在获得赦免之前，70岁的彼得斯要到2028年11月才有资格获释。

作为共和党人的彼得斯曾公开支持美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普的毫无根据的主张，即特朗普因广泛的选举欺诈而在2020年总统大选中输给民主党人乔·拜登。
彼得斯担任梅萨县书记员期间，其办公室发生选举安全漏洞，导致投票设备密码被发布到右翼博客上，她因此于2022年被起诉。她否认有不当行为，但在2024年被判定七项罪名成立，其中包括三项试图影响公职人员的罪名。

May 15 (Reuters) – Colorado Governor Jared Polis granted clemency on Friday to former county elections clerk Tina Peters, who was convicted of illegally tampering with voting machines as she pursued unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen.
Polis, a Democrat, wrote in his clemency letter to Peters that he was commuting her nine-year prison sentence to time already served and ordering her release on parole effective June 1. Prior to gaining clemency, Peters, 70, would not have been eligible for release until November 2028.

Peters, a Republican, was an outspoken supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that he lost the 2020 White House race to Democrat Joe Biden because of widespread election fraud.
Peters was the clerk of Mesa County when she was indicted in 2022 following an election security breach at her office that led to voting equipment passwords getting posted on a right-wing blog. She denied wrongdoing but was convicted in 2024 on seven charges, including three counts of attempting to influence a public servant.
