142. And, btw, this is the same thing it is thought that Nixon did vs Humphrey ....
LBJ wasn't running and tried to clear the way for peace efforts, meetings --

which would have benefited Dems/Humphrey.

Evidently, Nixon arranged secret negotiations suggesting VN would fare better

and get a better deal if he were president!

Meanwhile, this was another squeaker of an election -- 100,000 votes, I think.

1968 -- and both large computers used by MSM and smaller computers used by voters

had begun to come in during mid-late-1960's.

Coincidentally, just about the time America was passing the Voting Rights Act!



Before the large computers, MSM was only able to report the actual official vote

tallies -- afterwards, they could PREDICT and CALL elections -- and ELECTORAL COLLEGE

VOTES. In 2000, they simply reversed those new powers!
