The American justice system is broken, it’s totally lopsided and it sucks!! … “Terrorists should receive harsher sentences than pot smokers. Justice should be fair and not dependent on whether the defendant is black or white … or a white conservative Trump supporter.”
Crystal Mason voted in the 2016 presidential election. Unfortunately for her, she was a convict on parole and ineligible to vote. She did not know she was ineligible to vote. Crystal’s vote, naturally, was rejected. Since her name was not on the voting rolls at the precinct where she voted, she was given a provisional ballot which is what a person is given if there are questions about their vote. If you vote with this method, your eligibility will be checked before your vote counts. In Texas where Mason cast her ballot, 40,000 other provisional ballots were rejected in that same election.
