Because she was convicted on state charges, Trump cannot issue a presidential pardon for Peters, although Democratic Governor Jared Polis has similar powers at the state level.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In a statement, Colorado Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser, who Trump called \u201cradical left,\u201d told CyberScoop that the federal efforts would not derail the state\u2019s plans to defend Peters\u2019 sentence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTina Peters is in prison because of her own actions. A grand jury indicted her and a trial jury found her guilty of breaking Colorado\u2019s criminal laws,\u201d Weiser said. \u201cNo one is above the law. The Colorado Attorney General\u2019s Office will continue to defend this criminal conviction in post-conviction proceedings and on appeal. We are firm in pursuing justice for the people of the state of Colorado, protecting free and fair elections, and standing up for the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peters, the former election clerk, was arrested and charged with seven felony counts for facilitating a data breach involving voting system data in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>The incident is widely viewed as one of the most serious breaches of election systems in modern history, and was one of numerous examples of individuals crossing serious legal boundaries in a misguided attempt to prove Trump\u2019s voter fraud claims. <\/p>\n<p>The information stolen by Peters and her allies was later posted online, with the leaked data revealing no evidence of fraud or vote-flipping via hacking. County officials reiterated at the sentencing that a manual recount of ballots, along with multiple post-election audits of Mesa County elections, found \u201cno material difference\u201d in the vote totals the county reported in 2020.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Peters is currently attempting to move her case to federal courts.

Peters deserves to be held accountable for her actions \u2014 full stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.4955595026643\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/trump-calls-on-colorado-to-release-election-denying-clerk-from-jail-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
