Political machines in urban areas work in much the same way they do in rural areas. An issue is identified, grass roots awareness is raised, and eventually the cry of "Something must be done!" rings out strong and true.

∙ 12y agoThe term political machine refers to a situation where one group controls all the political offices in some region, usually a city or county, and so controls the government there. Once a machine is in power, it uses political patronage and sometimes corruption to stay in power. The machine controls law enforcement and often judges so it is not hard to get them to look the other way at questionable practices. Some machines run a fairly honest and efficient government so long as you play by their rules and so legally win elections with their well-organized campaign apparatus. Chicago and Boston are examples of cities ruled by long-lasting machines.
