On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced he has granted a full pardon to Tina Peters, the former Mesa County clerk. Peters has become a prominent figure among election-integrity activists.
• Trump labeled Peters a "political prisoner" and said she was imprisoned for demanding honest elections.
• Peters was convicted for participating in a scheme that breached election equipment security in 2021, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive data.
• Trump accused Democrats of misusing the justice system and ignoring violent crime while targeting political opponents.
• He claimed that instead of protecting citizens, Democrats prosecuted individuals advocating for secure elections like Peters.
• Trump's post emphasized that Peters was unjustly targeted for her belief in fair elections.
• Although presidential pardons typically do not cover state convictions, Peters' legal team appealed directly to Trump, arguing for the broad application of presidential clemency.
Trump's statement made clear his strong support for Peters, claiming her efforts were aimed at exposing voter fraud in the 2020 election. The legal implications of his pardon related to state offenses remain unresolved.
