Crystal Mason, a Texas mother of three, faced a five-year prison sentence for illegally voting in the 2016 election while on supervised release for tax fraud. Her conviction was overturned by the Texas Second Court of Appeals, bringing her “overjoyed” relief. Mason, who claimed she didn’t know her status as a felon on release made her ineligible to vote, celebrated the decision. The court found insufficient evidence that Mason knowingly voted illegally, emphasizing the absence of proof of her awareness of ineligibility.
