“Mr. Pritchard, the Vice Chairman of the Republican Party in Georgia, and who was already a convicted felon for check forgery, voted illegally no less than nine times, for which he was fined $5,000 … a slap on the wrist.”
“Crystal Mason is a convicted felon – convicted of tax fraud, inflating returns for the clients in her tax preparation business. Having served her sentence, she was out on parole in 2016. Unaware that as a parolee, she was not allowed to vote, Crystal headed to her polling place in Rendon, Texas. When her name failed to appear on the voter rolls, a helpful poll worker gave her a provisional ballot to fill out. No one, including her probation officer, ever told her that being a felon on supervision meant she couldn’t vote under Texas law, so she cast her ballot. What happened next will stun you …
‘Mason was indicted on a charge of illegal voting in Tarrant County, Tex., last year and found guilty by State District Judge Ruben Gonzalez on Thursday, despite her protestations that she simply was not aware that she was barred from casting a ballot and never would have done it had she known.
Mason was sentenced to five years in prison.”
Both have convictions. But a white Republican male deliberately illegally votes nine times and received a $5,000 fine. This is one of those people screaming about the 2020 election.
And the other person, Black, who accidently tried to vote one time, was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Unbelievable. Really. WTF, America.

Many thanks, Michael, for the reblog! Yes, yet another example of ‘WTF America’ where wealthy white males are above the law and the rest of us, depending on our gender and the colour of our skin, pay a hefty price just for existing. Thanks again, my friend. Hugs ‘n cheers

I’d pretend to be shocked but sadly, it tracks with every other WTF thing about America.

At least in Ohio (I can’t speak to any other state’s laws), provisional votes are just that…the vote counts ONLY provided that after research the voter has not voted elsewhere in the state (or in his/her precinct) AND the local Board of Elections Board has agreed that it is a valid vote. Otherwise, it doesn’t count. To me, this young woman did nothing wrong except to not understand the law in her state. (In some states, a felon who has served his/her time and released can vote.) The guy who intentionally voted NINE times; now, there is no excuse for this illegality, and he should be punished. Definitely, this is unequal treatment under the law. WTF, indeed!
