    the worst part is that she filed a provisional ballet, which basically says “I’m not sure I can vote, but this is my vote in case I can.” she was 100% upfront about it, and I’m pretty sure her vote was never counted anyways.

    she literally did nothing wrong.

      Though to be clear, policies that disenfranchise violate equal protections and the moral foundations of democracy from the start. Even if she had been 100% certain it was then illegal for her to vote, she did nothing wrong. Maybe did something illegal, but the law is what’s wrong. If we had a legitimate court system, her case would be an easy opportunity to toss the bad law.
