English: John McCunn belonged to a poor Irish immigrant family who arrived in New York in the 1800s. He worked as a dockhand before training as a lawyer, and eventually becoming a judge. He was a member of the infamous Tweed Ring, which he aided by naturalising new citizens to boost his election rolls. One one day alone, he naturalised over 2,000 new voters. However, when the scandal was uncovered, he was impeached and removed from office.
