I would surely like to see a reference for the ballot box story. I know one part of it as is currently in the article is erroneous, the Shelby County Election Commission was never all, or even predominantly, Republicans, in 1974 or now; Tennessee law requires a majority on each county election commission to be members of the legislature's majority party, which from then until now has been Democratic. (Until the election of the first Republican governor in a half century in 1970, they were required to be members of the governor's party.) I would like to see evidence of this, such as a citiation to a newspaper article or some other reference. Rlquall 02:44, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that he could have been on the House Assassinations Committee in his first term; that began January 3, 1975; the House Assassinations Committee began its work in 1977, I believe. Rlquall 02:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
