Democratas do Colorado censuram o governador Jared Polis por conceder clemência a Tina Peters

O Partido Democrata do Colorado censurou o governador Jared Polis na noite de quarta-feira por reduzir a pena de prisão da ex-escrivã do Condado de Mesa, Tina Peters, que foi condenada por crimes relacionados ao acesso não autorizado a equipamentos de votação.

Os democratas do Colorado afirmaram que a decisão do governador "prejudicou materialmente a credibilidade institucional do Partido Democrata do Colorado e os esforços para defender as instituições democráticas e a integridade eleitoral". Peters foi condenada em 2024 por acusações estaduais que incluem a participação na violação de equipamentos eleitorais após permitir que um associado de Mike Lindell tivesse acesso aos sistemas de votação do Condado de Mesa. O estado gastou quase um milhão de dólares para substituir o equipamento comprometido. Esta censura segue uma decisão de abril de 2026 do Tribunal de Apelações do Colorado, que anulou a sentença original de nove anos de Peters com base na Primeira Emenda, mantendo as condenações e ordenando uma nova sentença.
