2. Rogers was charged with two FELONIES because he voted while on parole Rogers didn't know couldn't vote. Why? In 2007, the Texas legislature passed a bill to inform people released from prison about voting eligibility It was vetoed by Rick Perry https://t.co/lBM9QRpPFN — PolitiTweet.org

1. Hervis Rogers waited 6 hours to vote in March 2020 and now faces decades in prison. He is a case study in how the criminal justice system is abused to promote political narratives, undermine fundamental rights, and target minority groups. https://t.co/lBM9QRpPFN — PolitiTweet.org

5. Paxton is trying to prosecute the case in Montgomery County - one of the whitest and most conservative counties in the state - even though Rogers is from Harris County and cast his ballot in Harris County — PolitiTweet.org

4. The idea that Rogers may be incarcerated for decades for a mistake that harmed exactly no one because Paxton is so desperate to prove that voter fraud is a problem is an outrage This is not justice. — PolitiTweet.org

@EasyPease69 False. He was not charged with violating his parole. He was charged with illegally voting because he was ineligible due to the fact that he was on parole. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

3. But Rogers was still on parole so he was ineligible to vote. Rogers was not trying to vote illegally. It was an honest mistake. He has now been charged with two felonies and is behind bars. He faces a potential sentence of 40 YEARS or more. His bail was set at 100K — PolitiTweet.org

2. Rogers arrived at the polls in 2020 shortly before the 7PM closing and WAITED 6 HOURS TO VOTE He was happy to do it! https://t.co/yhn4u9VosT — PolitiTweet.org

Never forget that the same people who spent 2020 raging about “cancel culture” immediately pivoted in 2021 to passing laws banning an academic theory that explains structural racism — PolitiTweet.org

Sullivan is right that he hasn’t moved an inch. He published an excerpt of The Bell Curve in 1994 and was quoted less than a year ago in the NYT suggesting there was evidence that Black people are, due to genetics, intellectually inferior to other races. https://t.co/kSQg128Fai — PolitiTweet.org
