First Women to Vote in Black Hawk Grundy County
Women in the proposed consolidated district on the western edge of Black Hawk and eastern edge of Grundy counties are likely the first in the United States to exercise ballots under the federal suffrage proclamation issued after Tennessee ratified the amendment. Ballots will be separated for men and women tomorrow in a 47‑section district election. An assistant county attorney says voting on all matters open to men is allowed with no further formalities. If no prior election predates the district, these women will hold a rare honor for casting the first ballots under the new amendment.
