Texas Acquits Crystal Mason, Who Faced 5-Year Sentence, Legal Nightmare for Voting Error
democracynow.org/2024/3/29/headlines/texas_acquits_crystal_mason_who_faced_5_year_sentence_legal_nightmare_for_voting_error
Quick Glance: Crystal Mason: Cleared of Voting Irregularity in Texas
- A Texas appeals court has overturned a five-year prison sentence for Crystal Mason, a Texas woman convicted for attempting to cast a provisional ballot in the 2016 presidential election that was rejected.
- Despite being acquitted, the case has taken a significant toll on Mason and her family. After Mason was arrested in 2017, she lost her job at a bank and spent several months in federal prison.
- Mason's case garnered national attention and was viewed as an instance of excessive punishment for a voting error. It was perceived as an attempt to intimidate black voters without transparency.
- Although Mason was not heavily involved in politics before her case, she has since become much more dedicated to raising awareness about voting rights. In 2022, she launched a rally for Beto O'Rourke.
