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.
These voters “lined up” in alphabetical order at the last minute, signed in the same blue ink in the same handwriting and all cast their ballots for LBJ.

NOVEMBER 1998
AT FIRST GLANCE, THE SOUTH TEXAS TOWN OF ALICE hardly looks like the sort of place that changed the course of history. Other than the decaying grandeur of the Rialto movie theater and the carved limestone facade of the Texas State Bank Building—now bearing a For Sale sign—there are few clues that Alice has a story to tell. But even if historical markers and the local museum make no mention of the town’s claim to infamy, the facts are undeniable: In September 1948 Alice saved Lyndon Johnson’s political career from near ruin, providing him—by hook or by crook—with an 87-vote victory in a U.S. Senate runoff against Texas governor Coke Stevenson. Without Alice, LBJ would have lost a Senate bid for the second time, making his eventual ascendancy to the vice presidency, and then the presidency, practically impossible...
...Three days after that, officials made a startling discovery in Alice: Precinct 13’s tally sheet, which had reported 765 votes for Johnson on primary day, now listed 965 in his favor. (One of Parr’s men, it was later revealed, had extended the lip of the “7” downward into a “9.”) The votes for Johnson were written in the same handwriting, signed in the same ink, and cast in alphabetical order. Nevertheless, Johnson was pronounced the victor, earning the tongue-in-cheek sobriquet Landslide Lyndon for winning by less than one hundredth of one percent of the total vote...
... Stevenson later contested the election, but Johnson’s attorneys successfully argued that the federal courts had no jurisdiction in a state election...

That Supreme Court decision was from an FDR appointed Democrat Klansman.

The investigation eventually reached the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court Justice, Hugo Black, ruled that the federal government was not allowed to get involved with a state election.

Mr. Salas says now that he lied in an aborted investigation of the election, in 1948 when he testified that the vote count had been proper and aboveboard. “I was just going along with my party,” he says.
He said Mr. Parr ordered that 200-odd votes be added to Mr. Johnson's total from Box 13. Mr. Salas said he had seen the fraudulent votes added in alphabetical order and had then certified them as authentic on orders from Mr. Parr.
The Associated Press interviewed everyone connected with the case still alive to corroborate Mr. Salas's story. One man who got a brief look at the Box 13 vote tally in the original investigation was a former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, T. Keilis Dibrell. He confirmed Mr. Salas's statement that the last 200 votes had been in alphabetical order.
“It stuck out like a sore thumb,” Mr. Dibrell said. “Also. the last 202 names were made with the same colored ink. and in the same handwriting, whereas the earlier names in the poll list were written by different individuals and in different color inks.”
The final statewide count, including Box 13 votes, gave Mr. Johnson an 87vote margin in a total tally approaching 1 million, earning him the tongue-incheek nickname “Landslide Lyndon.”
Biden with the nuclear codes, let that sink in.
Daley Machine stole 20K votes and Archie Parr stole 5K votes in Duval County Texas. Dems stole Illinois and Texas. And, viola!
John Kennedy became president in 1960.
Stole his way in.
This is the case that is always at the back of my mind during every election. It looks like this year many decades of voter fraud chickens are coming home to roost.
This year, as bad as it was, is going out with a bang, guaranteed.
Supreme Court must throw out ALL mail in ballots and only count in-person voting and verifiable absentee ballots.
Absentee ballots = real person requested and received.
Mail-in Ballots = Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse on the voter rolls get a ballot which the local BLM fill out and mail in.
Mail-in ballots are a violation of the constitution. Mail in ballots are equivalent to a “twitter survey”. A mail-in ballot is a ‘ballot’, not a ‘vote’.
Votes are in person verifiable ID and absentee verifiable request with ID – A constitutionally protected VOTE. Everything else is unprotected BS and SC must throw them out in EVERY state. Most expeditiously, in the swing states.
