Tracy Campbell talked about his book Short of the Glory: The Fall and Redemption of Edward Pritchard, in which he tells the story of political figure Edward Pritchard. Edward Pritchard was from Bourbon County, Kentucky, and later went on to clerk in the U.S. Supreme Court and became an important figure during President Roosevelt’s time in office. In 1948, Pritchard was indicted for stuffing 254 votes in a U.S. Senate race.
