Salas says he helped stack votes for Johnson in 1948 race
Luis Salas, 76, an election official in Jim Wells County during Texas 1948 Senate primary, says he certified 200 votes for Lyndon Johnson after a San Diego meeting with George B. Parr. He claims Johnson sought the votes to win as Stevenson trailed, calling Box 13 "highway robbery" and aiding a political machine. He plans a New York TV appearance to recount his story while noting ill health.
