Contested Jackson Smith Election Hearings In Somerset
A Princess Anne dispatch says testimony in the Jackson Smith election contest will reveal alleged bribery across Somerset county. Democrats allege a large corruption fund supported Republican gains while Uncle Bills side ends further testimony in Somerset after four days of hearings and ballot counts, excluding Drizfield and Smiths Island. Congress faces hurdles to overturn election results, needing to override election law and the Miller vs Miller ruling on rejected ballots.

Ballot counting doubts in Somerset and Talbot contests
A congressional contest raises issues over ballot counting in Somerset county where ballots marked for Roosevelt and Fairbanks but not Jackson might favor Jackson if lower ballot folds hid the congressional race. In Talbot county, testimony from Black voters reveals difficulties in marking ballots and attempts to vote were deterred by unfamiliar ballot formats. Witnesses describe being unable to vote, attending election schools, and fears of mismarking. What should be said of a contest built on such evidence?
