Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) plans to grant clemency to former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, a prominent election denier serving a lengthy prison sentence for breaching election security equipment in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, according to multiple reports Friday. 

Peters, 70, was sentenced in 2024 to nine years in prison after a jury convicted her on several felony and misdemeanor charges tied to a scheme to copy sensitive election system data from Mesa County voting equipment during a 2021 software update.
