Last year, former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters was convicted and sentenced to prison over attempts to expose interference in the 2020 election. Now, over a year after her conviction, President Trump announced he is pardoning her.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
From The Epoch Times:
President Donald Trump said on Dec. 11 that he is pardoning Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk convicted of election machine tampering in the aftermath of the disputed 2020 election.
…
Peters was convicted in Colorado state court in August 2024 of election-related charges, such as allowing unauthorized access to voting machines, and sentenced to nine years of incarceration.
Peters previously said on her website that her efforts as Mesa County clerk were aimed at upholding election integrity by “creating a forensic backdrop” of a county election server.
President Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that Peters was incarcerated “for the ‘crime’ of demanding Honest Elections.” He also called Peters “a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest.”
Both Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser claimed the President’s pardon is invalid, as presidents can only pardon those convicted of federal offences. However, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliana noted that the pardons protects Peters from future federal prosecution. Nevertheless, the Times says this pardon “appears to be symbolic.”
At IFA, we have covered the charged levied against Peters and the apparent abuse she is facing in prison. Let’s continue to pray that God would strengthen her, and let’s thank Him for this symbolic pardon!
