Democrat Voter Fraud in a 1948 Senate race
"Landslide Lyndon" Democrat Voter Fraud in a 1948 Senate race - & How U.S. entered Vietnam War - American Minute with Bill Federer
On September 2, 1948, Lyndon Baines Johnson ran in the Democrat primary for the U.S. Senate against Democrat Texas Governor Coke Stevenson.
Governor Coke Stevenson was more popular and would have won, but there were notorious ballot irregularities to steal the election.
Mysteriously, a box of uncounted ballots was "discovered" in the south Texas town of Alice in Jim Wells County, Precinct 13. Confusion reigned in Texas and by the end of the week, LBJ won by 87 votes. Both sides accused the other of voter fraud.
The FBI, Postal Department and other agencies were investigated.
Piecing together the details, the story emerged that during the tabulation period, LBJ's campaign manager, John B. Connally, traveled to Alice, Texas, in Jim Wells County.
George Parr - The Duke of Duval, the wealthy "political boss" of Jim Wells County and neighboring Duval County, gave John Connally access to be present when the ballots were "counted" and the returns amended.
George Parr later committed suicide.
When the dust settled, the newly recounted ballots showed 202 additional voters, some of whom were deceased and buried in the local cemetery or were absent from the county on election day.
