Federal election control laws spark national debate in 1872
In May 1870 Congress enacted laws placing practical care of elections under federal officials, with further powers in 1871. A new Senate-passed act removes state limits, allowing federal officials to oversee elections in any jurisdiction upon petition. The piece questions the loss of state sovereignty, describes penalties, spies at ballots, and urges public rebuke of the administration. It also notes party infighting and a 16th inst. congressional debate on war department spending.
