In July 1946, President Harry Truman ordered Jimmy Pendergast to fully support the removal of the current Missouri 5th District Congressman Roger Slaughter. Following the August 1946 primary election the Kansas City Star said there had been a vote fraud involving the removal of Slaughter. Fast forward to May 1947---a Jackson County Grand Jury indicted over 70 individuals for the vote fraud. In late May 1947 someone got into the Jackson County courthouse, blew open the safe containing the ballots and subsequently stole them. Not only did this act negate prosecution of most of the indicted individuals; no one was ever charged with the ballot theft. John The Yegg tells this story and reveal who committed the ballot theft via official FBI reports.
