Mackey was facing a maximum of 10 years in prison for speech crimes.

 

34-year-old Mackey was arrested in West Palm Beach in 2021 on one charge of conspiracy against rights.

 

According to the unsealed indictment, Mackey conspired with others on Twitter to encourage black people to cast their votes via text message.

 

The Eastern District of New York said in its indictment that one week before the 2016 election, Mackey tweeted an image of a black woman in front of an “African Americans for President Hillary” sign.

 

Emblazoned on the picture was the message: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home. Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925. Vote for Hillary and be a part of history”

 

According to the complaint, more than 4,900 people ‘cast their vote via text message.’

 

Buzzfeed News said they sent a text message to the number and Hillary Clinton’s campaign actually responded and redirected people to the proper channels.
