Federal grand jury indicts 36 in Kansas City vote fraud sweep

The case targets the Democratic T J Pendergast era political machine with 26 defendants charged in four indictments for conspiring to defeat civil rights by discounting votes for president or congressman. The identity of several indicted in a sealed count was not announced.
