The Chicago Precinct Captain
This is a story of the attitudes and thoughts of people in politics during the late fi fties and sixties. The explosion of the Black population and their steady migration westward from their historic enclaves on the East Side of Chicago was starting to be felt. The river wards controlled by the Italian “Mafi a” had enough control left for just one last great power surge for the Kennedy Election. Shortly after that election they were neutralized and changed by election irregularity investigations and redistricting and the abovementioned migration. The advent of voting machines throughout Chicagoland also changed the way the old precinct captains could change election results by manipulating paper ballots. The characters depicted in this story are not based on any current or deceased people. Any resemblance is purely coincidental
