1/ Crystal Mason’s provisional ballot in 2016 was never counted.

But she was sentenced to five years in prison for voting while on supervised release for a federal felony.

A state appellate court has declined to overturn her conviction.

2/ During the 2016 presidential election, Mason submitted a provisional ballot on the advice of a poll worker.

A month later, she learned that her ballot had been rejected, and a few months after that, she was arrested.

bit.ly/3dggkrf
3/ Prosecutors argued she knowingly violated a law prohibiting felons from voting before completing their sentences.

Mason said she would never have risked her freedom if she knew she was ineligible.

The @uscensusbureau is temporarily suspending field operations and extending the end of counting from July 31 to Aug. 14 for this year's census.
2/ Years of effort, a meticulously planned ground game, educational meetings and seminars, readied the state for the once-a-decade census.

But now those efforts are down for the count. bit.ly/2U7QC0I
3/ In an effort to avoid an undercount in the state, local governments, nonprofits and churches stepped into the organizational void left after Republican state lawmakers shot down any significant funding for state census efforts. bit.ly/2Wxtx96

1/ This 61-year-old man with a history of pneumonia was ready to enter a guilty plea and get out of jail.

Then the judge canceled his hearing because of the new coronavirus.

Now he's in jail indefinitely. bit.ly/3b9L4br

2/ This is happening across the state.

Courts have slowed.

Jury trials are on hold.

And defense attorneys worry the outbreak could leave their clients sitting in jail waiting for justice.

All while vulnerable to catching the virus.

3/ Last week, courts were authorized to use teleconferencing and directed to prioritize “essential” hearings — like child removal orders and initial hearings for people recently booked into jail. bit.ly/3b9L4br

Didn't receive a response from #Texas Dept of Public Safety regarding my drivers license renewal. Notified I would have to renew in person...not online, but I did happen to see this posted under an unrelated topic: State extends the expiration date of some driver’s licenses 1/2
In an effort to fight spread of #coronavirus & keep people out of long lines in state facilities, #Texas Dept of Public Safety said Sunday it’s extending expiration date of all driver’s licenses to 60 days after end of the disaster declaration in the state of Texas #DPS #TXDPS
The decision applies to any #Texas driver’s license, personal ID card, commercial driver’s license or election identification certificate that expires on March 13, 2020 or later.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
