You weren't at the trial and neither was I, so if this judge determined she scammed the system, that's what happened unless you can prove otherwise which we know you can't. No report said that the probation board were the only people at fault, just that they made a clerical mistake; a typical lazy government worker with a job for life.
She went to the probation board, they didn't go to her. She knew she was still on probation and prohibited from voting. Her intent was to see if she could get away with it and she did. Guilty as charged.
Here is an MSNBC source, Rachel Maddow:

As
Rachel explained on last night's show, Moses had a felony conviction in Tennessee that legally resulted in her not being allowed to vote again in that state. But she says that nobody ever told her that the conviction meant that she could no longer vote.
In fact, as The Guardian
reported, her county elections board admitted in writing that despite her conviction, local officials never actually took her off the voting rolls. What's more, a probation officer with the Tennessee Department of Corrections even filled out and signed a certificate confirming her probation had ended.

No one would ever suspect that they could not vote while on probation, because you should never be able to lose the inherent right to vote.
Nor is there anyway she could possibly have manipulated the records in any way.
And she can't be "guilty" because guilt can only happen when someone else is harmed.
Who was harmed?
And we are talking about a Black activist in TN, so why would anyone assume the judge is not racist?

Moses believes she is a victim caught in the midst of complicated Tennessee voting laws.
However, according to New York Times author Edwardo Medina, “Under Tennessee law, people convicted of certain felonies, including tampering with evidence, lose their voting rights forever.”
In 2015 Moses had 16 convictions, including misdemeanor counts of perjury, stalking, and theft under $500.
She claims that she only pleaded guilty to these crimes to avoid jail time, and did not have the funds to pay for her lawyer.

However, Moses’ conviction notice was never sent to the election commission so she was on their voting rolls for those six elections.
The Shelby County Election Commission sent a letter to the district attorney stating that they admit it was an error on the court’s behalf, for not sending a conviction notice.
Several years later, in Summer 2019, Moses wanted to run for the Mayor of Memphis or at least vote in the upcoming election and was denied this interest by election officials because of her prior convictions.
Moses claims that she was not made aware that she would lose the right to vote when she entered a guilty plea and was ultimately convicted of these felonies in 2015.
She also was skeptical about the duration of her probation term as she was under the impression she legally could vote once her probation term was over.
Due to this confusion and skepticism, she directly contacted a judge in September 2019 about her probation term, who told her that it was in fact active and ongoing. Yet when she later went to the probation office she was told by a probation officer that her felony probation was over.
The probation officer proceeded to sign off on her voting rights restoration form which Moses then submitted to election officials—24 hours later, it was evident that an error had been made by the probation officer.
The initial judge who had told Moses that her probation period was still active was correct and thus Moses did not have the right to vote.
Despite this confusion, Moses was then convicted of consenting to a false entry on official election documents in November 2019

Seems pretty obvious the judge was extremely racist and prejudicial, and that the court was at fault for never filing the proper papers in the first place.
