New Perspectives on Election Fraud in the Gilded Age

Stealing and rigging elections: An American tradition

ELECTORAL FRAUD: Causes, Types, and Consequences

...Another way to gauge the magnitude of fraud is to correct
for the impact of ballot rigging on vote totals. The most
creative and sensitive effort to assess the impact of
fraud is Powell's (1989) statistical analysis of the 1868
Mississippi ratification election. In June 1868, 53.4% of
the voters rejected the Republican-inspired constitution,
a charter that threatened to bar former white (and
Democratic) officials from ever holding office
again. Powell uses regression analysis of the 61 counties
to identify outliers-places with large shares of black
registered voters who rejected the proposed
constitution. By correcting results in these counties
based on vote totals and approval rates in normal
counties, Powell plausibly argues that the vote should
have been 52.5% in favor and 47.5% against the
constitution. Because the outlier counties tend to be the
places with allegations of fraud, Powell (1989, p. 651)
suggests that the "swing vote was the stolen vote." King
(2001) also uses ecological analysis of 32 counties to
argue that South Carolinian Democrats stole the
gubernatorial election from the Republican candidate,
Daniel Chamberlain, in the 1876 elections.

Vote Fraud a Tradition in Political Yesteryear

"Now, voter fraud is almost an issue of ancient history in
the United States, but it was once a very serious problem
as long as there were powerful and often corrupt big-city
machines, the Curley machine in Boston, the Hague machine
in Jersey City, the Daley machine in Chicago," said
Stephen Hess, a political scientist and expert on
elections at the Brookings Institution, a nonpartisan
think tank in Washington. (The Daley machine allegedly
helped Kennedy win Illinois in 1960.)
