President Donald Trump has announced a pardon for former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, currently serving a nine-year jail sentence for her part in the plot to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

However, Trump’s clemency gesture carries no weight, as Peters, 70, was convicted on state charges, not federal charges.

Anyone else think they are going to try and get the Supreme Court to expand the presidential pardon to state charges?
