A NON-UKRAINE Thread from the Colonel 😮‍💨 about the 1960 election which he says was also stolen.

"We used to say election day was resurrection day".

I've never heard about this before.

Fascinating....

By the 1980’s, liberals were admitting that the 1960 election had been stolen

More recently

In 1960 I was 9 years old. We lived out in the country and seldom had a TV signal much less news stations. We wouldn’t know if the election was stolen.

Well known 40 years ago. It was discussed often in, say, the National Review.

Nixon was horribly abused.

For instance, Robert Caro’s biography of Lyndon Johnson (Vol IV, The Passage of Power) states how he rigged the 1960 election in Texas. Footnotes and all.

This all is no secret.

Of course you’ll say it never happened, right?

This is commonly known in west Texas and Chicago. To be honest, from national to city-type elections...I doubt if any of them are totally free of corruption.

Another good example is the SF city mayor recall election election of 83 (Mayor Feinstein defeated this with 81-percent of the vote) is commonly believed to be rigged.

The 1973 SF mayor election (Mascone versus Barbagelata) was heavily screwed by the Jim Jones ‘sect’ (coming in from outside of town to vote).

It wouldn’t shock me if 10-percent of Hillary’s votes in 2016 were corrupted. You find any state where there’s only 3 or 4 percentage points of difference....then you go and buy the votes to swing things.

LBJ and the mayor of Chicago did the deed.

This has been well known for more than 60 years. The colonel is not exactly prescient for finally figuring it out now.

The Battle of Athens, Tennessee, 1946 (sometimes called the McMinn County War) is a true incident of a group of people, many WWII vets, that wouldn't take it any more. The only person charged was a deputy who shot a black man trying to vote. After a legitimate vote count, "Each veteran candidate won at a proportion of roughly two votes to everyone against."
Pretty hard to get away with it these days.

An excerpt:
They demanded that Cantrell and Mansfield count the ballot boxes in public. It is hard to pin down exactly how the conflict started, but White claims he fired the first shot.
Veterans took up positions on nearby rooftops and rained fire down on the jail.

I was 12 at the time. The day of the election I walked up to the junior high school where elections were being held and wrote in chalk in the parking lot, “Vote for Nixon and Lodge. They Understand What Peace Demands.” That night I watched the election returns. My Father right away said the election had been stolen by Kennedy. Within the week it was reported that there had been voter fraud in Cook County, Illinois. Kennedy paid for that fraud with his life.

I bet if one really looked into it, Dewey DID defeat Truman.

Democrat evildoing goes way back.

Well, Now it’s a precedent.
If the election gets stolen then it’s incumbent on the vanquished to go quietly into the darkness. They will shuffle this back into the memory hole the next time Trump (or anyone like him) takes the whitehouse.

Perhaps had Nixon contested the stolen election of 1960, America would not be in the mess we're in today.

Democrats saw they could get away with election theft, became emboldened, and institutionalized it in major cities throughout the United States.

Our freedoms and prosperity are very much in jeopardy.

The 1948 election was likely stolen snd Joseph P Kennedy sr was deeply involved. His gangster cronies from his bootlegging days had a score to settle with former-prosecutor Dewey.
