5 yrs for illegal voting

Texas Mom Sentenced To Jail For Illegal Voting

If the law doesn’t allow people on parole to vote, then she broke the law and is guilty.

But giving 5 yrs seems far far too harsh. Since it was only her vote, punishment should have been far more lenient.

Was she given 5 years for the illegal voting or does the 5 years include any remaining time from her felony tax fraud sentence for which she was out on supervised release?

seems like there has to be more to the story.

Was she given 5 years for the illegal voting or does the 5 years include any remaining time from her felony tax fraud sentence for which she was out on supervised release?

that’s what I was looking for a parole violation or something

That may explain it, though it’s very bad optics.
