== note == 1869 election: On Tuesday, November 30 , the election began, with the country in a state of suppressed excitement. In counties where there was any reason to apprehend disturbances, Reynolds had stationed detachments of soldiers to guard the polls. The polling places were in the county seats and the registry boards were the officers of election . The methods employed in the registration had not increased the confidence of the people in a fair election, and it was found that the provisions of Reynolds's recent order were far from assuring it. The vote was by ballot; but it was ordered that no mark should be placed upon the ballot by the registrars, except to designate โcoloredโ voters. The customary precaution of numbering the ballot so as to make it correspond to the voter's number on the registry list, in order to detect a fraudulent change of ballot, was omitted. This left the ballot box completely at the mercy of the registrars.
