A district judge on Monday turned down a Texas woman’s bid for a new trial after she was sentenced to five years in prison for illegally voting in the 2016 presidential election. Crystal Mason, 43, was still on probation when she cast her ballot nearly two years ago, The New York Times reported. She had just finished serving a three-year prison stint for tax fraud, and says she was unaware her felony conviction barred her from voting in the high-stakes election.
