Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray sent a letter to Colorado Governor Jared Polis this week, urging the immediate release of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was convicted for her role in a security breach in the elections office she was in charge of overseeing. In his letter to Governor Polis, Gray said Peters was wrongfully convicted and is a victim of left-wing political persecution.

In August of 2024, Peters was convicted on a number of charges in a Colorado state court for attempting to overturn the 2020 election of Joe Biden as U.S. President. President Trump’s pardon of the election denier lacks any authority due to the fact that the Constitution states that a president can only pardon those convicted of federal crimes, not state crimes. Only Governor Polis can pardon Peters or grant her clemency.
