1. HERVIS ROGERS
Everyone should know his name.
He faces DECADES in prison as the result of a gross abuse of power by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
Rogers crime?
He tried to vote.

2. Rogers arrived at the polls in 2020 shortly before the 7PM closing and WAITED 6 HOURS TO VOTE
He was happy to do it!

3. But Rogers was still on parole so he was ineligible to vote. Rogers was not trying to vote illegally. It was an honest mistake.
He has now been charged with two felonies and is behind bars.
He faces a potential sentence of 40 YEARS or more.
His bail was set at 100K

4. The idea that Rogers may be incarcerated for decades for a mistake that harmed exactly no one because Paxton is so desperate to prove that voter fraud is a problem is an outrage
This is not justice.

5. Paxton is trying to prosecute the case in Montgomery County - one of the whitest and most conservative counties in the state - even though Rogers is from Harris County and cast his ballot in Harris County
6. Rogers faces 40 years or more in jail as a result of these charges which is more than the sentence Derek Chauvin received for murdering George Floyd on camera
7. UPDATE: Rogers was just released on 100K bail 
8. Here is a picture of Rogers after he was released from jail yesterday on 100K bail (Credit: @ACLUTx)
