For complete ratification
I heard this sentence:
A-Only one more state for complete ratification.
in the TV series Boardwalk Empire.

The subject was women's right to vote. Legislation has been changing from state to state. Now I suppose there is one more state left. I think the sentence means that if only one more state grants women the right to vote, the ratification will be complete.
But in that case, should the sentence not be 'Only one more state TO complete ratification.'
I understand that this might be difficult to answer, Even though I have provided as much context as I possibly could, there is still a lack of context. My apologies if the question does not make sense or if it is unanswerable.
Gratefully,
Navi.
