        The punishment DOES NOT FIT THE "CRIME" .... THE HARSHNESS OF THIS SENTENCE IS DUE TO HER BEING BLACK....TWO OTHER INCIDENTS OF ILLEGAL VOTING....BOTH PARTICIPANTS WHITE....ONE..... PROBATION AND A FINE.....TWO....... PROBATION AND CS.....THIS IS WRONG AND BLANTANLY RACIST

        OOOOOOOR....she violated her parole and thus was sent back to prison per the rules of parole. Hmmmmm weird how you're expected to NOT commit crimes after you get out of prison for committing crimes

        Yet when she walked up to the table and gave her name it was written right there and she signed next to it - Then was given A card to vote and directed to the voting booth? Her name should not have appeared if she couldn’t vote ! #disgrace

        Exactly! But, are you trying to say she's not responsible for violating the terms of her parole because her name was a voting list? That's like saying a thief isn't guilty of stealing cuz the item wasn't nailed to the floor.

        She’s black. And she didn’t know she couldn’t vote while on parole. Because no one told her. So taxpayers will now pay at least $200K to imprison her and her family is shattered. Because of right wing, racist hysteria.

        I didn't think being on parole stripped a person from their constitutional rights! I believe that even ppl in prison should be able to vote. Being incarcerated should not strip someone of their constitutional rights.

        Black and voting. Can't be having that. This is another attempt at voter suppression. Get the fear out and spread it across the nation confusing the voters.
