German Voting Fight in Cranberry 1881 Exchange Turns Turbulent
In Cranberry a mob of German settlers backed one political party and resisted any ballot deviation. Peter Feltzer held the polls with muscle to guard procedure, while Mike Meyer challenged him by voting and defying the system. A heated fistfight broke out lasting about 30 minutes, ending with Meyer atop the box and threatening to reveal ballots as he claimed the right to vote. This wild scene recalls an 1881 clash of power and principle at the polling place.
