It is a Duty and a Pleasure to Vote

During the Gilded Age, voting was a major concern for people concerned in politics. The majority of the voting was corrupt and most of the elections were rigged. This cartoon is a good example of how elections were run by corrupt people and how they loved to vote. Most of the elections had ballet votes of people who were deceased or didn't even exist. The title "It is a Duty and a Pleasure to Vote", fits this cartoon because the men in the cartoon look to be doing something suspicious. In the background, the teller at the desk seems to be yelling at the men because they are doing something wrong and in this case they might be adding more votes than their own.
