Colorado Governor Fires Officials Who Opposed Freeing Election Denier

Gov. Jared Polis commuted the sentence of Tina Peters, who tampered with voting machines in an attempt to show that the 2020 election had been rigged against President Trump.

Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado on Wednesday fired two members of his clemency board after they spoke out against his decision to commute the prison sentence of the election denier Tina Peters.

The board members, Hannah Seigel Proff and Azra Taslimi, had objected to Mr. Polis’s decision in May to release Ms. Peters from prison after pressure from President Trump.

After the commutation, Ms. Proff and Ms. Taslimi revealed that the board — appointed by Mr. Polis — had twice voted unanimously to reject Ms. Peters’s application for a shortened sentence. Mr. Polis, a Democrat, has the final decision, and overruled the board.

7. I don't know what he has on Polis, but if there's a silver lining at all....

Progressives here in Colorado are so pissed at Polis' commutation of Peter's sentence there was a surge in DSA voting.

8. WTF! I hope Hannah Seigel Proff and Azra Taslimi

Go to Good jobs. Maybe with the next Democratic Governor? Not someone who lets an "Election Denier" like tima peters go free, and then fires those who objected.

I was born and raised in Denver, and I love my home State of Colorado! :

Hope Polis knows that his coming prison sentence won't be commuted.
