A Recent History of Electoral Skulduggery

On the Media | Apr 29, 2016

The on-again off-again Cruz/Kasich alliance to stop Trump through the strategic swapping of primary states may have been the most brazen, and short-lived, GOP effort to thwart the popular favorite, but it wasn't the first and it likely won't be the last. 

For as long as there have been elections, there have been backroom deals, intra-party sabotage, and general skulduggery. Brooke talks to historian and author Rick Perlstein about the elections of 1964, 1968, and 1972, when the public race for the White House was nearly overshadowed by behind-the-scenes jockeying.
