- Description:
- Voting Machine from 1928 General Election allows voter to cast votes for national and state offices and a variety of local measures. Item is probably from Pennsylvania. Only Republican and Democratic Parties are represented. Item is likely to be a demonstration version used to illustrate voting procedure
except for Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates, the names of office-seekers, office ran for, and party do not correspond to actual candidacies in 1928 (e.g., William N. McNair is listed on the voting machine as a Republican Candidate for Governor
he was actually a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator in 1928). Item 2214.BB0371 is a demonstration voting machine from the 1900 general election in New York State. - Cite As:
