A window into early 20th-century elections and the voter experience

This nonfiction work presents the continued proceedings of a contested election case from Pennsylvania’s Tenth Congressional district.

The material offers a grounded look at the mechanics of voting, record-keeping, and the interactions of voters with election officials.

  • firsthand witness testimony from voters and witnesses in Archbald and Scranton
  • details on tax receipts, residency, and ballot marking norms of the era
  • direct examination and cross‑examination that illustrate courtroom procedure
  • a snapshot of social and civic life during a disputed 1902 election
