End of meeting widens rift in Lorain NAACP
In Lorain the NAACP branch leadership dispute deepened after President Jean Wrice abruptly halted a Tuesday meeting during an election dispute. John Allen, secretary of the election committee, says a motion to audit the books was blocked. Wrice denies, claiming only she can speak for the local branch. The split centers on the November 21 presidential vote, in which Wrice lost to Herman Noland 101 to 94, and amid complaints of photo ID requirements denying several voters.
