Is she still on supervised release or can she vote now?
Well, who knows? I think that voting while Black is still frowned upon in Red states:
To this day, Crystal, who is Black, feels that her prosecution was politically and racially charged. She brings up the case of Terri Lynn Rote, a white woman in Iowa, who was convicted of voter fraud after purposely trying to cast a ballot for President Trump twice. She received a sentence of two years’ probation and a $750 fine. Even more recently, in April 2018, a white, Republican justice of the peace in Tarrant County pled guilty to submitting fake signatures to secure a place on a primary ballot. Sharen Wilson’s office, the same office that prosecuted Crystal, agreed to a sentence of five years’ probation.
“It was to make an example out of me. It was cruel.actually know that I had no intention of doing anything wrong at all,” Crystal says, pointing to these disparities.
And then this guy who cast 9 ballots= $5000 fine and “public reprimand”. :RollingEyesSmiley5:
