A historic ballot was cast more than a century ago in South St. Paul, and it was captured on film. In 1920, a group of South St. Paul women became the first in the nation to legally vote following ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. “We know 90 women voted that day,” said Matt Carter with the Dakota County Historical Society. “We know through the newspaper there was film basically taken of this event,” Carter said. The historical society was able to obtain 15 seconds of film from that important day.
