Yeah, apparently she’s going to jail for perjury, but if posed the question, “Do you have the qualifications to become sheriff,” well, that’s quite different than the question, “Do you have at least one year of law enforcement experience (which is mandatory for the position you’re running for)?”
The article doesn’t specify which one she was asked.
