As Seth Klamann reports for The Denver Post, former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters is officially a free woman:
Tina Peters was released from a Pueblo prison Monday morning after a commutation from Gov. Jared Polis ended both her 20-month incarceration and a months-long pressure campaign by President Donald Trump.
Her release was confirmed Monday morning by Adrienne Mazzone, spokeswoman for Peters’ legal team. Alondra Gonzales-Garcia, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections, also confirmed her release but declined to provide further details “regarding residential placement, reporting schedules or travel logistics.”
It remains unclear under what conditions Peters, 70, was released. The Corrections Department said Friday that she would be released under a parole agreement, though the agency had not responded to a Denver Post records request for that document as of Monday.
As KRDO TV reports from Pueblo, a handful of Peters’ supporters waited for her release from La Vista Correctional facility this morning — including some guy from Hawaii — though it doesn’t seem that anyone got a glimpse of her first taste of freedom since October 2024.
You’ll never guess what Peters did as soon as she was out of jail…
NEW: Tina Peters, newly freed by Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D), begins her MAGA media tour by telling Steve Bannon that Democrats are cheating on elections and she was imprisoned as retribution for exposing voting machines that flip votes.

Peters immediately showed up on Steve Bannon’s podcast to talk about how her imprisonment was retribution for her efforts to expose fraudulent voting machines.
OF COURSE Peters feels no remorse for her crimes.
OF COURSE Peters is going to spend the rest of her life telling anyone who will listen about how she is a martyr for exposing 2020 election fraud that never happened.
OF COURSE Peters is going to take this a step further by helping President Trump sow doubts about the legitimacy of a 2026 election that is widely expected to be a wipeout for Republicans.
A few days after commuting Peters’ sentence in May, Governor Jared Polis said of his decision: “I think this will be remembered fondly.”
OF COURSE it won’t.
