Trump Pardons Election Integrity Activist Tina Peters
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Former President Donald Trump has pardoned Tina Peters, the Mesa County, Colorado clerk, who was convicted for her role in a 2021 breach of county voting machine equipment. Peters, a prominent figure among election integrity activists, was found guilty of obstruction of a government operation earlier this year. Trump, who announced the pardon on Truth Social, criticized Democrats and prosecutors for politically targeting Peters and other supporters. Peters had sought clemency after her habeas corpus filing was rejected, and her attorney noted that she faced threats and attacks while incarcerated. Peters gained national attention following the 2021 security breach in Mesa County, where confidential voting machine data was copied and shared online, violating state security protocols. Peters and her supporters argue she acted as a whistleblower, while state officials claim her actions jeopardized election security.
