“In 1948, Lydon B. Johnson did the same in Texas - finding lost ballots for the Senate race. He was then called Lying Johnson.”
Actually, regarding Lyndon Johnson’s “win,” I recall there being questions about dead people voting; and there was no recount because the ballots were burned in a warehouse fire. After that, he was called “Lucky Lyndon.”
be sure that Al Franken is already spreading fuel in the room if the recount is in his favour. :-)
