Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a contestation of the election of James J. Butler to the 58th United States Congress, representing Missouri's 12th Congressional District. It was filed by George D. Reynolds, who presents fourteen grounds for contesting the election. The grounds include the disenfranchisement of qualified voters, illegal votes being cast and counted, fraudulent and illegal ballots being cast and counted, and election officials being in a conspiracy to commit fraud. Reynolds alleges that, considering these factors, he would have received a plurality of all votes legally cast and should have been elected to Congress. The author provides detailed election returns and discusses the relevant electoral laws in support of Reynold's claims. Overall, this book delves into the intricacies of contested elections, the importance of fair and impartial elections, and the role of the House of Representatives in adjudicating such contests.
