Do not grant clemency to Tina Peters

Dear Governor Polis, I am writing to you as a concerned citizen regarding the pending clemency request for Tina Peters. It is my strong belief that granting clemency in this case would undermine the rule of law and send a troubling message about accountability. Tina Peters has been involved in a significant breach of public trust. As the former Clerk and Recorder of Mesa County, her actions raised serious concerns about the integrity of our election processes. By allegedly compromising sensitive election equipment and promoting unfounded conspiracy theories, she not only jeopardized the security of our electoral system but also eroded the public’s confidence in democracy. Clemency should be reserved for those who demonstrate genuine remorse, rehabilitate themselves, and contribute positively to society. Tina Peters has not shown a willingness to accept responsibility for her actions. Instead, she has continued to propagate divisive narratives that harm our community and the democratic process. I urge you to consider the long-term implications of granting clemency to Ms. Peters. Upholding accountability is essential for maintaining trust in our institutions. By denying her request, you would be sending a clear message that such actions against the integrity of our elections will not be overlooked. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your service to our state and urge you to act in the best interest of all Colorado citizens.
