On LBJ's first senate run, He was up against a Conservative democrat sitting senator, (Coke Stevens).
Coke Stevens was ahead in the primary vote until the border counties came in with more votes than population.
The ballot boxes then were lost.

That's the election that the Sheriff of my former county in Texas guarded the ballot boxes with his sons and they all had shotguns when the LBJ crowd tried to pick them up to take to be counted. :)
