NAACP pushes voter registration of jail inmates

By DEIDRE GLOVER AND ERIN FITZGERALD, Missourian staff
November 7, 2000

For prisoners, exercising their right to vote may not seem important, but
organizations such as the NAACP think otherwise.

Mary Ratliff, NAACP local and state president in Missouri and a member of
the NAACP national board, said representatives started registering inmates in
Columbia in early October. She personally went into the Boone County Jail,
which housed about 200 inmates at the time and registered 26 people herself.
