Polis Should Not Pardon Tina Peters: Concerns Over Election Security
The author, a former Maricopa County recorder, urges Governor Polis not to pardon Tina Peters. Peters was convicted for violating election laws by allowing unauthorized access to sensitive voting data, betraying the responsibilities of an election administrator. Pardoning her would undermine confidence in election integrity, signal that election administrators are not valued, and potentially embolden future attacks on election officials, particularly by those influenced by figures like Donald Trump. The author emphasizes the importance of allowing the legal process to run its course to maintain the integrity of the election system.
