Fraudulent Missouri Votes Create Turbulent Kansas Districts

An 1855 to 1866 account details how Missouri residents crossed into Kansas Territory to vote, swearing as residents, challenging ballots, and swarming polling stations. It cites 206 illegal votes in one district, describes nonresidents becoming judges, and notes widespread manipulation to push Kansas toward slavery. It also reports the broader pattern across multiple districts and the aftermath fueling tensions before enumeration of qualified voters.
