The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has agreed to review the case of Crystal Mason, a Tarrant County woman who was previously convicted of illegal voting. Mason was sentenced to five years in prison for attempting to vote in the 2016 election. Her conviction was overturned by an appeals court earlier this year, but the local district attorney appealed the decision. The state's highest criminal court will now reconsider the case, which has drawn significant attention.
