Former Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters is asking the state appeals court to recognize President Donald Trump’s pardon of her state convictions as valid.

Former Colorado elections clerk Tina Peters is asking the state appeals court to recognize Donald Trump’s pardon of her state convictions as valid.

In a motion Tuesday, Peters’ lawyers said the Colorado appeals court no longer has jurisdiction over her case because of a Dec. 5 pardon issued by Trump. They also asked the court to release her from prison because of the pardon.

Peters, the former Mesa County, Colorado clerk, was convicted of state crimes there for orchestrating a data breach scheme driven by false claims about voting machine fraud in the 2020 presidential race.

Trump’s pardon power does not extend to state crimes.

    No, of course not. Fuck her, she seems horrible

    I just think the line is bad. It’s an evil meme. I think it shouldn’t be said, it’s that simple.

    And in this case specifically, there’s not much wiggle room. Who is going to defend her seriously? On Lemmy no less?

    So this is the perfect time for a negative social reaction and correction. It’s how you fight bad memes
