As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Colorado Democratic Party State Central Committee votes to censure Governor Jared Polis. The governor’s decision to commute Tina Peters’ sentence is seen as a controversial move. The party accuses Polis of having “materially harmed” the state party’s credibility. The spokesperson for Polis defends the governor’s decision, stating it was made based on the facts of the case. The censure vote is a familiar response to a perceived betrayal within the party. And, once again, the debate around election integrity and clemency becomes a performance of party loyalty.
