How many fraudulent ballots can a 20 mule team pull asked no one?

73,200 lbs worth. At one ounce, times 16 ounces (= one pound) times 73,200 pounds... the answer is 1,171,200 ballots.

The rear wheels of these massive wagons measured seven feet high and were made of one-inch-thick iron. The wagon beds, constructed of solid oak measured 16 feet long, were 6 feet deep, and weighed 7,800 pounds when empty. The first wagon was called the “trailer,” the second was the “tender,”, and the water tank wagon brought up the rear. These water tanks carried some 1,200 gallons of water to supply the mules and men while in route. Water supplies were refilled at springs along the way, as it was not possible to carry enough water for the entire trip. All total, with the mules, the caravan stretched over 180 feet and when loaded with ore, the total weight was 73,200 pounds. A loaded team traveled an average of only 17 miles a day.
