Mike;

I have lots of LBJ stories and this one has a bit of humor in it. It is all about democracy in action!

LBJ lost his first election for political office. He lost to an old time Texas politician and in the process learned a few things about how to win. It seems that the total number of votes cast in the election was greater than the number of registered voters. Upon examination many of the votes were cast from persons who were deceased. The ballet box had been stuffed and that is why LBJ lost.

The next election saw LBJ running against the same person he had lost to earlier. This time LBJ made sure that he had more votes from deceased voters than his opponent and he never lost another election! :)
