    Yes. Crystal Mason was sent to prison for voting. She used her name. Her ID. Voted at her location. Was told by poll workers everything was fine. But because of a prior felony, her voting rights were stripped. She had no idea. And now this. They are trying to break her.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1092998198757638144 …

    Just received some truly awful news. After being sent to prison for voting, Crystal Mason, was eligible to be transferred to a residential facility. The DA of Tarrant County, TX instead is charging her with another crime, a sewage violation from 2018, keeping her locked up. pic.twitter.com/JkAiM1GUL2

        So @alisongrinter as her lawyer why is this woman still in jail? @CNN @MSNBC @MaddowBlog @ABC @CBSNews @NPR @NewsHour In America in 2019 a black woman can be thrown in jail for drinking from the white fountain? Make no mistake, that's what this is.

        The prison won't transfer her to a halfway house because of a detainer by Tarrant County for a septic tank violation at her house from last year. Conveniently filed just as she was about to see daylight again. Tarrant County is scared of Crystal Mason having a voice.

        This is a tiny misdemeanor. She's getting the run-around just trying to get a bond. It's absolutely shameful.

        What even IS a sewage violation? They’re using her to scare others out of voting. It’s an outrage.

        Sounds like something that should be a civil matter. Malicious prosecution, personal retaliation under color of law, should land the DA a substantial sentence, in addition to forfeiture of the privilege of practicing law.

        Has anyone stepped up to give her decent representation or is the “ wall” so gargantuan with these racists that there’s no rhyme reason or common decency? I think it’s time to stop giving all prosecutors a ladder to higher office if they’ve “charged up”. Scrutinize all records.

        They are at the point where they want just one...one more win, to find her hanging in her jail cell by her own hand would be a climax greater than any orgasm to them...they where able to shut just one more up...just one more...

        Did they arrest the poll worker for allowing her to vote? That would be fair.

        This is the very definition of cruel and unusual punishment. It's unconstitutional. Where is @KimKardashian? Maybe she could get her friend @realDonaldTrump to right this injustice.
