Moses had lost her right to vote back in 2015 when she pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and forgery, as well as misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, theft under $500 and escape. Due to these convictions, Moses was placed on probation for seven years and lost her right to vote as a convicted felon. Subsequently, according to the court, Moses was not eligible to vote in the 2020 election and the judge and district attorney believes Moses was well aware of this.
Further complicating Moses’ situation is the fact that she has 16 prior felonies before becoming an activist.
Moses said she didn’t actually vote, merely registered. She added that did not know that her rights to vote in Memphis had not been restored. Her name, she said, was on the rolls at the election commission.
“I relied on the election commission because those are the people who were supposed to know what you know you’re supposed to do. And I found out that they didn’t know,” Moses explained to WREG.
