Des Moines Ku Klux Threatens Ballot Box in Precinct Two
In Des Moines, a tense election scene unfolded as Dick Clarkson, Sherri Bringhoff and Bob Crous, Confederate candidate for county clerk, pressed to seize the ballot box from Precinct Two. The box was kept at Bristow’s house overnight after officials debated legality of counting outside the precinct, prompting widespread public scrutiny and criticism of the Ku Klux activity. Authorities later received the box and proceeded with vote counting, ending a highly charged episode in Des Moines politics.
