A Black Lives Matter organizer in Memphis was sentenced to prison after she was convicted for illegally registering to vote.
Pamela Moses, described by some outlets as the founder of a BLM chapter in Memphis, was sentenced to six years in prison last week after she was convicted in November 2021 for illegally registering to vote in Tennessee, according to prosecutors. Moses had felony convictions in 2015, making her ineligible to register to vote.
Judge Mark Ward, while handing down her prison sentence, accused her of making false statements to the probation department to register to vote.
“You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation,” Ward said in court last week. “After you were convicted of a felony in 2015, you voted six times as a convicted felon.”
Moses in 2015 pleaded guilty to felony charges of tampering with evidence and forgery. She also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, and theft under $500, according to local media.
Public records also show she was arrested in 2016 and charged with inciting a riot. Those charges were later dropped.
“I did not falsify anything. All I did was try to get my rights to vote back the way the people at the election commission told me and the way the clerk did,” Moses said at her sentencing hearing on Jan. 26.
A local activist in Memphis alleged that her conviction was erroneous, and her sentencing is too harsh for the crime she committed.
“Elected officials have used incredible amounts of resources in a time when there’s a backlog in this justice system unlike any we’ve seen before. They use resources to try and … convict this woman for trying to vote,” said Josh Spickler, executive director of the left-wing group Just City, in a news conference.
Moses previously said she never actually voted and only registered unknowingly. She faulted officials for not telling her about her ineligibility after she began probation on the 2015 charges.
“I relied on the election commission because those are the people who were supposed to know what you’re supposed to do,” Moses told News Channel 3 in December 2021. “And I found out that they didn’t know.”
However, prosecutors said during her trial that Moses knew that she was ineligible to vote.
“Even knowing that order denied her expiration of sentence, Pamela Moses submitted that form with her application for voter registration and signed an oath as to the accuracy of the information submitted,” prosecutors argued. “Pamela Moses knowingly made or consented to a false entry on her permanent registration.”
Will be out in six months and his record will be expunged. Election fraud should be a life sentence. Anyone who commits this stole my right and my country from everyone else.

The liberal spin: “So what if she was a felon? They just want to stop black people from voting.”
Ah Memphis......live an hour away & only go to the airport. My brother is a big guy & he drives trucks for delivery all over the country. He won’t even stop for gas in Memphis.
Will claim racism.
Same here. We went out west several years ago and came home through Memphis. We got lost in Memphis so we had to get a motel. The gun shots all night kept us awake. As soon as the sun came up we were out of there and headed back to E. Tennessee. We’ll never go back through Tennessee’s Chicago.
Sentence reduced to time served in 3…2…1…
She’s a common criminal, and criminals gotta crime.
Jim Crow 2.0/sarc
Against the grand American traditions of Tammany Hall, Boss Tweed, Richard Daly and TJ Pandergast. Where would we be without election fraud. The big international airport in NYC would be called Richard Nixon Airport, and his ugly face would be on silver dollars. Donald Trump would be—GASP!—still POTUS./s
DAMN STRAIGHT!
out tomorrow on good behavior

She was on probation at the time. You do not want to make a mistake while you are on probation.
Google Melowese Richardson of Hamilton County, Ohio. Convicted of voting multiple times in 2 years, admitted to voting 5 to 6 times each voting year for 12 years.
Re 1. Jail them both.
Ignorance of the LAW...
This is like a home without a lock.
