ALICE, Tex., July 30—A former Texas ivoting official, seeking “peace of mind,” says he certified enough fictitious ballots to steal an election 29 years ago and launch Lyndon Johnson on the path that led to the Presidency.

The disclosure was made by Luis Salas, who was the election judge for Jim Wells County's Box 13, which produced just enough votes in the 1948 Texas Democratic primary runoff to give Mr. Johnson the party's nomination for the United States Senate, dun tantamount to elec ion.

“Johnson did not win that election—it was stolen for him and I know exactly how it was done,” said Mr. Salas, now a lean, white‐haired 76‐year‐old.

The election has been a subject of controversy and conjecture for nearly three decades, since Justice Hugo Black of the United States Supreme Court abruptly halted an investigation, but the principals have been silent.

Mr Salas, please turn yourself into the nearest prison and stay there for the rest of your life ...

That stealing of the election led to millions of people dying in SE asia. Biden stealing the election if successful will lead to millions dying from nuclear bomb attacks from Iran.

Mr Salas, we’ve known this for a long time now.

Everybody political in Texas knew about it; trucks and cars were racing around full of ballots. My mom who grew up in Texas has told me about that.

It seems that Democrats have been getting away with open crime including election fraud for a long time.

Truman???

He’d be 119 years old now. He probably just voted for Plugs the Pedo.

Nope. The Democrat U.S. Senate primary which Tory Conservative ex-Gov. Coke Stevenson won, but was stolen by left-wing Congressman Lyndon Johnson. No LBJ as Senator means JFK could not have stolen enough votes in 1960 to win the Presidency. A Senate race that altered the course of history in America, and not for the better.

Lol. In Detroit I assume.

[fieldmarshaldj]

No, South Texas.

OK

<1948??? Truman???> No Texas byu 87 votes. Back then the Dem nominee almost always won no the 1948 United States Senate election in Texas was held on November 2, 1948. After the inconclusive Democratic Party primary in July, a hotly contested[1] runoff was held in August in which U.S. Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson was officially declared to have defeated former Texas governor Coke Stevenson for the party's nomination by eighty-seven votes.

This is from 1977. He now is dead and surrounded by 58,000 Vetnam vets kicking the crap out of him!

[mmichaels1970]

Ok. Just heard a lot of 110+ year olds formed a substantial voting block in the Wayne County MI area. Figured they may have formed a community or something.

As long as democrats are not held accountable, they know they have a license to steal. It’s the same as regular crimes: no punishment, more crime.

And democrats know that republicans forget easy and quickly and don’t bother to investigate and hold the criminals accountable. Same as what’s happening with the Durham investigation: nothing to come from it and soon to be forgotten. Lot’s of noise from republicans in congress, but, nothing more.

Indeed. Johnson was given the name Landslide Lyndon in an ironic tribute to the election being stolen by a relative handful of votes.

The “oath” Plugs the Pedo would take would be to uphold, support and defend the Derp State and the interests of Red China and George Soros.
