Absolutely correct. It sounds like this woman did everything right until she was explicitly told, by an agent of the State no less, that “it’s up to (her)” if she could register to vote. How is that not entrapment?

It’s not as though voting in local elections by non-citizens is a bizzare idea anyway. Here:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-28/some-cities-want-their-immigrants-to-vote

Is a Bloomberg article discussing such voting, and some of the history thereof.

Given the circumstances, it’s believable to me that Ms. Fitzpatrick had a rational belief that she was allowed to vote in local elections. Even if she’d been told otherwise at the time of getting her green card, it’s easy to see how she could have been fooled by the State agent into believing that the law had changed. IF the story is correct as presented, then I think that it’s the State that is at fault here, not Ms. Fitzpatrick.
