8 years seems a bit much for voter fraud (single person fraud).
More importantly, why pay to keep someone in prison for 8 years (to reform them from that sort of behavior) and then immediately ship them out of the country after they are out? That makes no sense at all.

It ruins the integrity of a fundamental institution. Going to vote is a very conscious act, it is not desperation, or uncontrolled emotion.
One cannot negligently vote, or vote because they were out of options, or get addicted to voting.

Sounds like a ridiculously long sentence for voting fraud. I'm sure her one vote didn't sway the election. Some manslaughter charges get less time!
Why not just take her off the voting roll. Instead, put her in prison with a bunch of criminals who may change her attitude for the worst. That's great rehabilitation along with people whose only crime was using marijuana or abusing drugs. We're producing more criminals than rehabilitating them. This is a perfect example.
And we wonder why our prison system is over-crowded?

I thought you had to be a citizen in order to vote. Did that change?

Her attorney says she has a learning disability, of which made her confused about being a US citizen or an illegal resident.
An Irony she can ponder for the next 8 years.
