This from the Daily Camera in Colorado: A Boulder County Jail inmate awaiting trial on attempted murder charges says jail officials disenfranchised him and should do more to make inmates aware of their voting rights. Jeffrey Neering said he asked several jail deputies what he needed to do to vote in the Nov. 1 local and state election, starting more than a month before the election. . . . “I felt like they didn’t care,” he said. Neering, 27, has been charged with attempted murder and multiple counts of assault in an Aug. 4 attack on a Denver man visiting a friend in Boulder. Jason Chilson sustained a 4-inch cut to his throat in the attack, which occurred on University Hill. . . . He said he considers himself an informed citizen, though when asked if there were any particular issues he wanted to vote on this time around, Neering said he “can’t really remember anymore.” . . . He said he told one jail official, “Hey, you disenfranchised me,” and the person responded, “You’re in jail.”
In a time of scarce resources, let’s see if someone takes up Neering’s cause.
