   A Texas man who was hailed as a national hero after he queued   
   for several hours in order to cast a ballot in last year’s   
   presidential primary, was charged with illegal voting earlier   
   this week.   
      
   Hervis Rogers was arrested Wednesday in Houston, charged with   
   two counts of illegal voting, according to a report on Houston   
   Public Media. He is being held in jail, unable to pay bail set   
   at $100,000.   
      
   “Mr. Rogers is being held in jail on an extremely high bail   
   amount that he cannot afford for what amounts to simply   
   attempting to fulfill his civic duty. This is not justice,” said   
   ACLU of Texas legal director Andre Segura. “He faces potentially   
   decades in jail. Our laws should not intimidate people from   
   voting by increasing the risk of prosecution for, at worst,   
   innocent mistakes.”   
      
   Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is alleging that Rogers voted   
   while on parole for a 1995 conviction for burglary.   
      
   In Texas, it is illegal for those convicted of a felony to vote   
   in an election until their sentence is completed, including   
   probation and parole. Rogers’ parole began in 2004 and expired   
   in June 2020. The Texas primaries, in which he cast his ballot,   
   were held in March of that year.   
      
   “I wanted to get my vote in, voice my opinion. I wasn’t going to   
   let anything stop me, so I waited it out,” Rogers told an ABC   
   affiliate last year, finally casting his ballot at 1:30 a.m.   
   after waiting for six hours to vote at Southern Texas University.
