What do you think you are doing putting a woman in prison for 5 years for voting . At $30,000 a year it's going to cost the taxpayers $150,000 . Then add court costs, witch I'll guess is another couple thousand . Your f#@king wasting my tax dollars.

The 5 years was for casting a provisional ballot (which was not counted) when she thought she was eligible to vote. Her parole officer testified that she did in fact believe she was eligible and it was an honest mistake. It was a complete miscarriage of justice, though I'm not sure how much leeway the DA had in the case. We have provisional ballots for a reason, so that if theirs a question it can investigated. It was investigated and determined she was ineligible to vote because she was not completely finished with her probation. Where someone intentionally votes multiple times or commits intentional voter fraud that's one thing but where someone clearly didn't intend to commit fraud and cast's a provisional ballot as happened in this case it's outrageous.

I think a more appropriate question is why the DA's office is not prosecuting child abusers, even when a mother strangles her child and leaves bruises on him? So much for being tough on crime.

5 years in prison just for voting? Or was it for voting illegally? Did she vote Democrat or Republican?

Garbage system

Upholding the law.
