In 1948, Johnson won an election for [[U.S. Senate]] by stealing the election, according even to historians sympathetic to him.  Johnson ran against former governor Coke Stevenson; neither candidate won a majority of the votes in the election, which under Texas law forced a runoff between Johnson and Stevenson.  Johnson then claimed an 87-vote victory over Stevenson in the runoff, which was fraudulent.<ref>See eg Robert A Caro Master of the ''Senate Means of Assent''</ref>  Johnson's partner in [[crime]] in the election theft, [[Abe Fortas]], whom Johnson later appointed to the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] and was confirmed by a two-thirds majority of the Democrat Senate, is the only Supreme Court Justice to have resigned over corruption charges.
