A Texas court has dropped Crystal Mason’s illegal voting conviction. Mason was sentenced to five years in prison for voting illegally in the 2016 presidential election. She claims she did not know she was ineligible to vote due to being on supervised release for a prior felony conviction.
As a MAGA Trump supporter, it is important to highlight the following points from the article:
– Crystal Mason, a Black grandmother from Fort Worth, Texas, was acquitted of an illegal voting conviction that could have resulted in a five-year prison sentence.
– The state appellate court ruled that there was not enough evidence to prove that Mason knew she was ineligible to vote in the 2016 election.
– Voting rights advocates have warned about Texas’s crackdown on alleged illegal voting, which could ensnare voters who make mistakes while voting.
– Mason was on supervised release from prison for federal tax evasion charges when she voted, thinking she was eligible after being released.
– Mason voted using a provisional ballot that was not even counted, and her conviction was described as a perversion of justice by her attorney.
