Story of vote fraud in Ironton election trial
A jury hears the case of four defendants charged with ballot tampering in last November’s county commissioner race. Prosecutor Burke alleges Pratt and Rapp spread word they were leaving the city and later sent Griffith and Rapp to obtain ballots marked for Republican Dickens. Dickens won the recount but then lost by court order, while two Civil War veterans in Hocking County remain. The narrative shifts to a veteran’s obituary with details of his service in the Civil War. He survived by ten children and a sister, with funeral arrangements set at Smith Chapel.
