Neither side could claim victory because of the fraud and violence.

Explanation:  The correct answer is C: neither party could claim victory due to fraud and violence. It refers exactly to the staunch political difference between the state of Kansas and Missouri, who was the state accused of carrying out acts of intimidation and fraud in the elections and for that reason had won the elections twice, which were held for the purpose of authorizing or rejecting slavery in Kansas. After the elections were over and after the results of the election were known, these were not satisfactory for both states, so they triggered events where the disorder reigned, as well as a series of riots and deaths in October 1855. Upon hearing about electoral fraud and after reaching several consensus, slavery opponents decided to choose their own representatives themselves.
