By different chapter, I assume you're referring to LBJ's "recount" when he ran for the US House and the fact that the courthouse burned down the night before the recount.
Yeah, it's a Democrat thing.
US Senate race, not house. And I should have read the story more carefully.
My bad.
Yes, the LBJ thing was the big one, but there have been numerous election scandals since, too.
I dont know what triggered my Father to become a Repubulican & vote straight Republican, but the election between LBJ & Coke Stevenson is my guess. My Dad has mentioned that incident several times. He voted against LBJ and the dims ever since I can remember - which goes back to the '60 election.
