Maria Dearaujo, a 63-year-old Brazilian immigrant, was found NOT GUILTY of illegally voting in the 2018 U.S. election! She voted while still a lawful permanent resident (not yet a citizen). Ohio's Attorney General Dave Yost had accused her of fraud, but Judge Chris Brown ruled it was 'entrapment' because she was tricked by a BMV clerk who told her she could vote. Maria said she only voted after the clerk's advice and stopped when officials told her it was illegal. She clutched her hands in prayer when the verdict came: 'Thank you, thank you, thank you!' While she escaped prison time, she might still face federal trouble for lying on her citizenship application. Yost's office has not decided if they'll appeal, and Maria says she 'doesn't feel guilty' - she just wanted to vote! 🌟 #VotingRights #TeenNews}
