Judge Michael Ward convicted her of manipulating the probation authorities in order to acquire the ability to vote when he handed down the punishment.
“You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation,” Ward said in court, the Washington Post reported.
Moses pled guilty in 2015 to felony counts of tampering with evidence and forgery, as well as misdemeanor charges of perjury, stalking, theft under $500, and escape.
Due to the obvious tampering with evidence accusation, she was sentenced to seven years of probation and was declared unqualified to vote in Tennessee.
Moses claims that when she went to vote in 2019, she seemed to be under the belief that her right to vote had been reinstated.
