Nixon's win was ever so close as incumbent President Lyndon Johnson frantically tried to deal with Vietnam and get peace talks launched the weekend before the election.

That's hogwash. And to this day "they" keep telling that lie.

Electoral Vote:
Nixon: 301
Humphrey: 191
Wallace: 46

Had Nixon been held to less than 270, what deal would Wallace have extracted from him?

A handful of states and popular votes could have switched things in 1948 for Harry Truman in his famed win, not to mention Nixon versus Kennedy in 1960 when JFK beat Nixon by similar numbers in the electoral college.

I think there’s some spin on all that.

But this notion of holding back votes to delay knowing the winner Huntley mentions in the video is something to consider.
