Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters seeks a pardon from President Donald Trump after her request to be released via a writ of habeas corpus was denied.

Peters, 70, was the Mason County (Colo.) clerk and kept a copy of Colorado's 2020 election results as reported by Dominion Voting Systems, according to her attorney.

Attorney Peter Ticktin wrote the president on Saturday while seeking Peters' pardon and said other inmates have threatened and attacked her several times, The Hill reported.

"About 6 months ago, Mrs. Peters was threatened with harm ... by a group of inmates" who said they would "stab and kill her," Ticktin wrote.
