It's not justice if it only applies to republicans.

She showed that Dominion was committing a crime by deleting election data that under federal law must be retained for two years after an election. THAT crime has never been prosecuted.

---

Or apparently even investigated.

Question: Is there any sort of whistleblower defense for her upon appeal?

It looks to me that she committed a small crime with the intent to expose a much larger crime. The law is being used to silence a person who was attempting to comply with the intent of the voting laws... ie. ensuring that elections are free and fair.

Doubtful in a very blue Colorado where the Dominion HQ is located in a rent-a-suite in Denver.

If Venezuela is democrats' goal, they sure are doing a bang-up job lately.

Here's another republican who tried to interfere in the last election. Republicans keep trying to say democrats cheated, but time and time again, it's always a republican that is found guilty of it.

Right, if not for the super honest and America-loving Dems, this country would no longer exist.

She gained access to election results... post-election. She didn't interfere in the election. Democrat powers were keeping 3rd party auditing of results. She broke the law in how she provided access to information about the election.

I mean, the OP is dumb enough to think Democrats never cheat and only Republicans do...so it's not a stretch to believe OP missed the details on this either.

Plenty of democrats are that stupid.

Harsh measures?

Start arresting all the pot heads?

Dump the DC homeless in Denver?

FREE TINA PETERS, a brave and innocent Patriot who has been tortured by Crooked Colorado politicians, including the big Mail-In Ballot supporting the governor of the State. Let Tina Peters out of jail, RIGHT NOW. She did nothing wrong, except catching the Democrats cheat in the…

Dem state senator got popped for the same charge and was given probation.

Trump might be helping apply pressure on him (or at least giving him a political path) to grant clemency.

FREE TINA PETERS!

Colorado's governor announced he is commuting the sentence of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. She's serving time for election interference for allowing unauthorized access to voting machines following the 2020 presidential election. https://t.co/ly0W5HVDs4

Great news - it's about time!

I'm happy that Polis was able to put partisanship aside and look at the rule of law and realize it had been applied unevenly...and then, fix that problem.

You are being overly generous to Polis.

The 9 year sentence was too much; otoh 2 years is too lenient for the crimes she committed. Regardless, let's hope she and all the other Americans who are like her seek and receive treatment for their mental delusions.

ETA: kudos to Polis.

Perhaps...

But upon reading some stuff about this, he actually stated that it was unfair that a recent Dem got probation for the same crime...

I'm not giving Polis total praise...just saying his move here was good.

Well, that "lenient" 2 years was 2 years longer than the Dem politician just received...for the same crime.

No ***** The only reason Polis did this was because there's a two-tiered justice system and he knew he couldn't ignore Tina while a Dem operative got probation for the same thing.

especially after he said this about her sentence:

Quote:

"She made a horrible mistake, and she was wrong," Polis posted on X. "I was glad to hear she isn't going to prison which is a hard place for anyone, no less a retired 68-year old pharmacist.

Poster you replied to is clueless about almost everything, it seems. I hope she takes her own advice and seeks treatment for her own delusions and mental illnesses. Tina, btw, was 68 years old when she was sentenced to 9 years.

Always? 1 in 20+ is not always.

It been we'll documented numerous times the amount of election fraud Dems engaged in, you just don't like it so ignore the truth.

Here's the problem with that. What Peters did was to follow the law in preserving election records. She was told that Dominion was to access the records in her care for some needed upgrades ironically called "Trusted Build." She preserved the existing records before that was done.

And what she did exposed the commission of numerous other federal crimes of destruction of those records by Dominion employees. The "Trusted Build" deleted the 2020 election results in violation of state and federal law.

So Peters needed to be made an example to warn other localized election officials to not come forward when they noted suspicious activity and the Dem state officials were more than happy to throw the book at her for that reason.

None of that is true regarding Tina Peters' crimes, but it is a narrative many Trump supporters believe. Just like thousands of other Trump supporters, Tina Peters stupidly committed crimes because she believed a bunch of dumb partisan lies. It is sad.

Believing dumb lies is one thing. Choosing to commit numerous felonies because one believes those lies is a far worse thing. Btw, iirc, Tina Peters was prosecuted by a Republican d.a.. And many Republican election officials in Colorado and around the USA spoke out publicly that her actions were serious violations that deserved to be prosecuted.

The hell it isn't true. Just because you were not interested in doing the research into what happened in 2020, doesn't mean every one else was that uncurious and lazy. And I don't care if election officials are Republican or Democrat.

Pattern recognition is something not all people possess. They cannot connect dots from different sources to see the patterns. And those irregular patterns were detected by math, statistics, physicists, etc. from the Edison Research feed on election night. The lack of an accretive count, for instance, across multiple states and localities occurring at the same time, for instance. That is not human error, it cannot be.

But in the end, people such as yourself obtained what you wanted, a Biden Presidency. So, congrats? I guess?

Polis didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He did it because Trump made it hard for him not to

His did Trump make it hard for him not to?

You'd have to ask the governor who commuted her sentence. He is the one who claimed that.

I know, reading is hard.

Apparently reading is hard because polis didn't say Trump made it hard not to. He said he Trump made it harder to do so

Polis is a trash leftist. He would never credit Trump for anything

Edit: I see you removed the quote.

Quote:

When challenged by CNN on Friday night about whether Trump's constant advocacy in Peters' favor affected his decision, he attacked the president.

His statements' certainly made it a lot harder. President Trump tends to muck up everything he gets involved with, he does not understand this case,' Polis said.

The governor's comments come as his fellow Democrats have slammed him over the decision.

---

Maybe my reading comprehension is not up to snuff. I read the article initially as Polis blaming Trump for the pressure he was getting to commute her. I guess he's saying he would have done it sooner if Trump wasn't involved? I can't tell what he was ranting at.

Peace. His hand was forced or else he would have been called out for being a hypocrit.

And instead of acknowledging that he, you guessed it, blamed Trump - the classic Democrat playbook. It's their only play at this point.

Exactly what he's saying. (Lying about)

Trying to blame Trump for this taking so long. No one forced his hand and certainly isn't doling it out if goodness of his heart. Polis has a political or personal reason for this move. Time will tell what it is.

Polis: Some misunderstood the crime. Thought it had something to do with the 2020 election when the crime had zero to do with that.
