A Texas woman, Crystal Mason, had her conviction for illegal voting in the 2016 election overturned on appeal. However, the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office has filed an appeal to reinstate her conviction, emphasizing the importance of protecting the integrity of the voting process.
Mason, a mother of three, was initially sentenced to five years in prison for voting while on supervised release following a felony tax fraud conviction. The Texas Second Court of Appeals ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove Mason knowingly cast her provisional ballot illegally.
