She was arrested, charged with illegal voting, and found guilty, though she refused to pay the resulting fine and no attempt was made to force her to do so. “…I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's right, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any State to deny.”
