Quote"The kinds of irregularities we can see were at work in the 1948 Senate race in Texas were, I think it's fair to say, pretty widespread across American history and all regions of the country to one extent or another but certainly in the South and along the Mexican borderlands, as recently as the 1940s," Lawrence said.

Salas told Mangan that the powerful South Texas political boss George B. Parr — who wielded control with favors and coercion — ordered that some 200 votes be added to Box 13. Salas said he then watched as the fraudulent votes were added in alphabetical order, with the names coming from people who hadn't voted in the election.

QuoteThe new votes gave Johnson the primary victory over then-Gov. Coke Stevenson by an 87-vote margin. Johnson — subsequently bestowed with the nickname "Landslide Lyndon" — went on to easily defeat the Republican in the general election, long before the GOP became the dominant force in Texas politics.

How bad was it? Had Johnson not become senator, I doubt Kennedy would have picked him to be his running mate. Johnson NEVER would have become president. All the harm Johnson did might not have happened. We will never know, but we do know Johnson was one of the worst presidents and the harm he caused we are still paying for today.
