## Resource

Tina Peters, a former Colorado elections clerk serving a nine-year sentence for aiding a cyber heist that exposed election passwords and fueled baseless claims, is walking free today after her governor commuted her term — a move critics say undermines democracy and was driven by political pressure from former President Trump. Despite the leniency, the fallout continues as state officials condemn the decision, while Peters remains silent upon release. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
