Vote-repeaters in Baltimore. The doc isn’t joking.

And yet, the fellow was famous for his stories and poetry... how did they ever think they would get away with pressing Edgar Allen Poe into that service?

It is my understanding that Poe didn't really achieve fame until after his death, and he died rather poor. In either case, there is no reason to believe that anyone would recognize him by sight, even in Baltimore.
