[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't if someone said this already, but there are literally people in jail for voting when they weren't eligible - because they were permanent residents, not citizens, or because they were ex-felons.

So when a woman of color does it she goes to jail, but when it's the governor's white son it's just a fun prank?[/quote]

Here is a clue:

The women actually cast ballots.

How was she registered if she wasn’t eligible?

So you can end up in jail if you end up with the wrong poll worker?

[i]She wasn't on the voter rolls, and instead cast a provisional ballot with the help of a poll worker. Local officials determined she was ineligible due to her 2011 tax fraud conviction, and her ballot was not counted. Prosecutors later charged her with knowingly voting illegally.

Texas' ballot asks voters to certify that they have completed any felony sentences — including supervision — to vote. Mason testified in court that she did not know she was ineligible and did not read the fine print because an election worker was helping her with the provisional ballot.

Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Youngkin's kid did not manage to vote. Had someone let him vote or helped him vote, he could be charged. I guess election officials are of a higher caliber in Virginia. That's unfortunate for Virginia? [/quote]

No, it’s unfortunate for the women spending four years in jail for the same behavior.

The election official in Texas should be held accountable for improper guidance.

I am sure they have qualified immunity.[/quote]

So people can end up in jail by trusting election officials? And the official won’t be held accountable?

That is fcked up.

Sort of. If your passenger tells you the speed limit is 55 and you are pulled over for driving 55 in a 25, who is at fault? Your passenger?[/quote]

If the passenger is a traffic cop and there are no speed limit signs anywhere then yes I would blame the passenger. [/quote]
