14. Keeping the other guys from stealing the election was an essential ingredient for victory in Chicago. Darrow defended one Democratic faction that turned off the lights, boarded up the windows, and built a wooden barricade across the door to a polling place so that the voters had to stand on tiptoe to hand their paper ballots to the armed poll workers inside. It was necessary, Darrow contended, in order to keep the ballot boxes from being carried off by the other side. But voters were advised to remove any rings before voting, lest they disappear into the dark with the ballot.
