Who supported political machines and why? Why did reformers dislike political machines so much?
What will be an ideal response?
Political machines were mostly supported by recent immigrants who knew few people when they arrived and needed someone to help them find a job and take care of their needs in return for their vote. Reformers disliked the machines because they challenged their authority, threatened to have the foreign born rule, and gave charity away unasked.
