Pardoned after sentence served
2025-Dec-05
Election fraud
Tina Peters was a Colorado county clerk convicted of orchestrating the tampering of voting machines in her county.
Proprietary information and passwords were copied from the machines. Three months later the stolen data surfaced at an event for those trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election won by Joe Biden.
At Peters' sentencing hearing, a county commissioner testified that Peters' actions cost the county almost $1.4 million.
Trump's pardon of Peters appears to be symbolic only. Though it pardons her for federal crimes, the crimes she was convicted of were Colorado state ones. Presidential pardons apply to federal crimes only.
