Tina Peters, the then-Mesa County, Colorado clerk and recorder, investigated voter fraud after the 2021 Grand Junction municipal election. Hyper-partisan Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Attorney General Phil Weiser, along with a weak Republican local District Attorney Dan Rubenstein, brought trumped-up felony charges against Tina Peters and falsely accused her of unauthorized access to voting machines.

During this same time, Griswold allowed voting-machine passwords to remain publicly posted online for 4 months. Democrat Mesa County District Judge Matthew Barrett, poorly rated by his community, stated on the record he sentenced the 69-year-old Peters to 9 years in prison because of her First Amendment-protected views on election integrity.

Peters is now suffering greatly in prison as a result.

The Trump 47 Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, along with Colorado Acting U.S. Attorney Bishop Grewell, took the first step to bring justice to Peters through filing a statement of interest in her federal habeas lawsuit, drafted by attorney Patrick McSweeney, raising these serious civil-rights problems. But that’s not enough.

Tell Governor Jared Polis to commute Tina Peters’ sentence immediately and end this political persecution and cruel mistreatment of an elderly woman, who was merely trying to do her job.
