Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Elections: On Contested Elections in Somerset County, Together With the Testimony Taken Before That Committee, January Session, 1864
The Committee on Elections, to whom were referred the several memorials contesting and defending the late election in Somerset county in regard to the offices of Clerk of the Circuit Court, Register of Wills, and Judges of the Orphans' Court of said county, respectfully report:
That able and learned counsel have had a full opportunity for discussion of the law and facts and for the examination of witnesses before your Committee, whose testimony is herewith, filed as part of this report. The facts as shown in this testimony, prove beyond a shadow of doubt that there was no election in Somerset county on the first Wednesday of November, 1863, the day appointed by law for holding an election. In a majority of the districts of the county, soldiers in organized military force appeared at the polls, and in nearly every district where they appeared they had the charge and direction of the election, the judges of election being more or less subordinate to their positive and direct commands. A yellow ticket appears to have been used by one party throughout the county. The evidence is conclusive that there was an organized and predetermined effort throughout the whole county to use military force and intimidation to affect the result of the election. The intention so to do was publicly proclaimed by the military authorities of the county.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details a contested election in Somerset County, Maryland during the November 1863 general election. During a time of great conflict, an investigation into the validity of this particular election reveals the many ways in which a fair election process can be subverted and exposes the grim reality that elections during this period were conducted under military rule. Beyond the specific recounting of one election, this book has a larger scope that delves into the complex issues of voter suppression and the mechanisms through which such suppression was carried out. The outcome of this specific election is not as important as the account of how the election was conducted and the extent to which the election process was corrupted, ensuring that only a certain type of candidate could win under such conditions. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true history of voter suppression in America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
