Voting rights effort targets those held in jails across US

Summary by Ground News
Voting rights for pretrial detainees and inmates serving sentences for misdemeanors were upheld in a U.S. Supreme Court decision from 1974. In Harris County, Texas, about 75% of the nearly 10,000 people held in jail are pretrial. The sheriff's department established a polling place there in 2019, working with the county elections office, and allowed voting during the past two election cycles.
