You should note - the reason for this 6 year sentence by the judge is he felt she had deceived her probation officers and the election board by asking what
her status is as a citizen. She didn't actually vote, only made a request for information and a certificate for voting. Her convictions and subsequent probation
are the reasons for her request - So how is that suddenly illegal and trickery? Again, she didn't actually vote.
However, the four dudes in the Maddow piece did vote illegally and on top of that, they did it intentionally with full knowledge they were doing so.
Do you see the contrast here or is this still too difficult for you?
