Political+Machines+(2-2)

The political machines worked by doing a favor for the public office so they in turn do a favor for you. They were used as a way to stop political corruption and as a way to make immigrants valid so their votes would count.

Immigrants supported political machines because it helped them to feel welcome in the country and it gave them something to rely on. Also, it allowed them to prove their citizenship, which in turn allowed them to vote.
