.MaddowBlog: When Pamela Moses tried to register to vote — not cast a ballot, just register — she was criminally charged and sentenced to six years in prison.

None of these GOP voters stumbled into the crimes by mistake. On the contrary, they requested absentee ballots on behalf of dead loved ones and forged signatures as part of their deliberate efforts to cheat.

They were caught and charged — U.S. elections systems are already strong enough to catch those who try to commit fraud — but judges didn't exactly throw the book at them. These instances came to mind after seeing reports out of Tennessee this week. The Fox affiliate in MemphisLocal Black Lives Matter activist Pamela Moses was sentenced to six years and one day in prison following her November 2021 conviction, Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich announced Monday. Moses founded Black Lives Matter Memphis and was a candidate for Mayor of Memphis, but lost the general election on October 3, 2019.

But when Moses tried to register to vote — not cast a ballot, just register — she was criminally charged. This week, she received a six-year prison sentence. The Republicans who actually cast illegal ballots in the name of relatives they definitely knew were dead each received light sentences. The Black woman who thought she was allowed to register to vote is set to spend the next 72 months in prison., a Texan who cast a provisional ballot in the 2016 election cycle while on supervised release for a federal conviction.
