Groups Plan Effort For MS Voting Rights Restoration

Three groups will sponsor an initiative to try to simplify the way Mississippi restores voting rights to people convicted of some felonies, a person involved with the effort said Monday. Danyelle Holmes, a national organizer with the Mississippi Poor People’s Campaign, said paperwork to begin a ballot initiative will be filed soon with the secretary of state’s office. The Mississippi Prison Reform Coalition and the People’s Advocacy Institute will join the Poor People’s Campaign as sponsors.
