Gil Jesus Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The Box 13 scandal was a political scandal that occurred in Jim Wells County, Texas during the Senate election of 1948, regarding disputed votes in a Democratic primary involving Lyndon B. Johnson and Coke Stevenson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Cole Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Great history Gil. Forgotten today is that LBJ was right on the cusp of being booted out of politics just before JFKA. LIFE magazine planned a major expose, and the thought was LBJ would be dumped off of the D-ticket by 1964. But, for "good of the country" LIFE held back the truth and printed lies about the JFKA instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bulman Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 But for box 13 JFK would have had a different running mate. Would he have won such a close election without him/Texas? If he'd won with a different VP would he have ever gone to Dallas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
