Peek behind the scenes to see what many politicians did to get what they wanted. Find out how they manipulated the law, stole votes, initimidated constituents, and avoided elections. Learn about City Council antics, racism and anti-Semitism, partisan redistricting, and how easily candidates could be thrown off the ballot.
Hear about the Alderman who lost his gun in a City Hall bathroom. The Congressman who stepped down as a candidate so his son - who didn't even live in the state - could replace him on the ballot. How Democrats and Republicans cut deals with each other. How candidates were intentionally abandoned by their parties. And how some voters embraced corrupt practices.
