   The freshly printed petitions had been taken over to city hall and "round-tabled." Five or six city employees — all of whom owed their jobs to the machine — sat around a table and passed petition blanks and voter registration lists in a circle. Each person copied every fifth or sixth name from the registration list. That way, the forgeries weren't so obvious.
