Barley Risotto and Kimchi: A Culinary Crossroads| SaltWire #food #cookingshorts #kimchi - A Texas appeals court on Thursday reversed its prior ruling and acquitted a woman who had been sentenced to five years in prison for attempting to vote in the 2016 election against state law, after a higher court ordered it to reconsider.
The appeals court's reversal of Mason's conviction on Thursday, after finding that prosecutors had indeed not sufficiently proven she knew her act was illegal, was hailed by voting rights advocates as a major victory in one of the U.S. states with the most restrictive voting laws. "This ruling gives us hope not just for Ms. Mason, but for the broader fight for voting rights in Texas," said Christina Beeler, voting rights attorney at the Texas Civil Rights Project, in a statement on Thursday.
