LBJ Papers Confirm Fraud in 1948 Texas Senate Vote
LBJ private papers reveal vote changing and confusion before his 87 vote primary win. About 5,000 documents in eight red boxes were opened at the LBJ Library in Austin for reporters. An undated memo attributed to Johnson claimed no knowledge of ballots in Duval, Jim Wells, Zapata counties or other Texas counties. The records follow an AP report saying 200 false votes were certified in Jim Wells County during the runoff and a late night meeting in San Diego near Alice involving Johnson and political boss George Parr.
