May 21 (UPI) -- The Colorado Democratic Party central committee voted to censure Gov. Jared Polis for commuting the sentence of election denier and former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters.
The committee voted 89.8% in favor of censure, which temporarily bans him from participating in
or speaking at party-sponsored events, including Colorado DemFest on June 6 and the associated Obama Gala.
Polis' move cut Peters' 9-year sentence in half, and she could get parole as soon as June 1 after serving less than two years.
