Texas Woman's 5-Year Voter Fraud Sentence Overturned

A Texas appeals court has overturned the illegal voting conviction and five-year prison sentence of Crystal Mason, who cast a provisional ballot in the 2016 election while on supervised release for federal tax evasion. The court ruled that there was no evidence Mason knew she was ineligible to vote, vindicating her after a seven-year legal battle. The decision highlights the ongoing debate around voting rights and the intent required for illegal voting convictions, with implications for similar cases in the future.
