Probably soon pardoned by the Oval Office.

Fortunately, it doesn't have jurisdiction. It was a state offense.

Trump just "pardoned" an Oregon(?) state election official, convicted on state charges of (?)election interference. It's symbolic, not I fully expect them to try to press that through officially.

It was Colorado, and it was purely symbolic. If his DOJ were to take this one to the Supreme Court, and SCOTUS rules in favor of the Trump Admin, then the US Constitution, which is currently only wounded (gravely), would be truly dead.

I hadn't heard of the Oregon one. He tried that with an election official in Colorado, too, though. Unsurprisingly, she's still in prison.
