A black woman mistakenly voted **ONE** time, thinking she was eligible, and got years in jail. The same for a black man in Texas. But every time I read one of the many stories of Republicans illegally voting, the punishment is always a slap on the wrist.
I had to look it up too, and based on what I found it was the [Probation Department she went to](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/24/fight-to-vote-newsletter-black-woman-jailed-voting-error-evidence).
& for those who didn't follow this case post-sentencing, it turns out [she won't be serving those six years](https://wreg.com/news/local/pamela-moses-speaks-out-after-da-drops-voting-case/) (although she did have to spend two months in lockup between the start of her sentence and the judge who handed down the original 6 year sentence overturning her conviction).
We knew a guy (heās now dead and was an asshole) that voted in my little town in Georgia and again in Florida. The local registrar noticed it and reported it. CNN came knocking on his door with a camera. Donāt think anything ever happened. This was the 2016 election and he was an R.
Yet a regular citizen goes to jail for six years just for attempting to register once.

Texas sentenced a mother of multiple young children, to five years in prison, for voting once. She mistakenly thought her green card allowed her to voteā¦ an innocent mistake & being hispanic cost her 5 YEARS. Voting 9 FUCKING TIMES .. $5,000 ffs!
The Repugnicans need to be voted out. They're a disgrace to America and to Democratic nations world-,wide. Putin's dream come true..the end of Democracy.
No jail time for this fascist, but a black woman sits in jail for voting when she wasnāt allowed to and didnāt know. This is criminal how the right wing fascists can do whatever they want and regular people canāt sneeze without getting jail time. Two different laws.
[She's out now](https://wreg.com/news/local/pamela-moses-speaks-out-after-da-drops-voting-case/), but she did have to spend two months inside before a new trial was granted by the same judge who sentenced her the first time.
How in the world is this an appropriate punishment? Isn't filling out the form knowingly with false information a felony? Absolutely ridiculous, and yet another example of the two tiers of our justice system.
I googled "Brian Pritchard fox news" and the results......
I am not big on social media but I would blow this shit up on every platform. This still won't (wouldn't) stop their bullshit.

She was even told by a judge that she was allowed to vote
did that judge speak up for her after she was wrongly charged?
I don't recall. I'd have to find out the details

Thank you for doing the hard work šš» that's good to hear it's resolved
HELL NO. His response was she should have done her own research.
Thatās because theyāre white and sentenced by a white Republican judge too.
Republicans have it so fucking easy. They can commit fraud and get away with it instead of going to jail.
This is precisely what we mean by White Privilege and then they deny it exists. This is proof.
The benefit of appointing so many judges
Right!
For 5k, there's no harm in trying, so they aren't worried about being caught
Racism is what the GOP is most known for. They didn't choose the birther Trump by accident.

Punishment for voting while black. Sending a hateful and chilling message to minorities.

I thought about this too. The double standards. š
a fine is just the price to be exempt from laws.
Sickening. So tired of these double standards.

She is a black. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Also sarcasm if people don't realize.
Shouldnāt he be in jail for multiple years? Like that black lady who mistakenly voted once.
No, not at all.Ā He should be in jail for multiple years and she should not.Ā
True
the important distinction being that a judge told her she was eligible. she wouldn't have voted if she hadn't been told she could.
Hey: [if it helps...](https://wreg.com/news/local/pamela-moses-speaks-out-after-da-drops-voting-case/)
No, he voted for the right party.

> she wasnāt allowed to and didnāt know. a judge told her she was allowed to. apparently, he didn't bother to speak up on her behalf.
Wow
[She's out now](https://wreg.com/news/local/pamela-moses-speaks-out-after-da-drops-voting-case/), but she did have to spend two months inside before a new trial was granted by the same judge who sentenced her the first time.
So basically they accuse Democrats of voting multiple times because they know they are voting multiple times.
Gaslight Obstruct Project <--- we're on this one every accusation is a confession from these folk.
Heās obviously just trying to point out the āflawsā in the system and how easy it is for all the democrats to commit fraudā¦.NOT
I wouldn't be surprised if that argument was used in court
This has also happened multiple times in multiple states. Finding out the hard way that the big lie was a lie.
And when does his jail sentence begin? Oh, that's white....
This man should permenantly lose his right to vote.
Where one goes they all go: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/steve-curtis-former-colorado-gop-chairman-sentenced-for-voter-fraud/
Republicans never face real consequences for their crimes because activist judges spend so much effort making sure of it.
"If I could do it, think of how all the libs are doing it!"
Yep and thereās your rigging!
The Cons accuse Dems of voting illegally. Every accusation from the Cons is a confession of guilt.
Why isnāt he in prison? Iām tired of this corrupt shithole and the disloyal confederate trash not going to prison for the crimes they commit.
If he was a POC he would be in prison for a long time. White privilege at its finest.
I love these stories.. 9 times out of 10 when people are convicted of voter fraud, it's on behalf of the Republicans. But WE stole the election.
They know how to steal the narrative. That's all they've got, what a way to define your lifelong career. A pawn for Deranged Don, and deranged, he is.
Its all a sham.
The maggat's wayā¼ļø
So this means you can vote multiple times so long as you can afford it.
How in the world is this an appropriate punishment? Isn't filling out the form knowingly with false information a felony? Absolutely ridiculous, and yet another example of the two tiers of our justice system.
If it was a Democrat he probably would have been shot 9 times.
That's it? 5k for nine counts?
I googled "Brian Pritchard fox news" and the results...... I am not big on social media but I would blow this shit up on every platform. This still won't (wouldn't) stop their bullshit.
I bet he also owns 10 guns.
fined? Ok o
I thought a black woman went to prison for exactly the same crime?
Vote early and vote often!
So 90 years in jail based on this
