Mangan's exclusive interview with a South Texas election judge who detailed certifying false votes for Lyndon B. Johnson nearly three decades earlier made headlines across the country. With the win by an 87-vote margin in the 1948 Democratic primary runoff, Johnson, then a congressman, easily defeated his Republican opponent to take a seat in the U.S. Senate, and he eventually ascended to the presidency. Mangan spent three years pursuing the story, which pulled back the curtain on the victory that had drawn suspicions ever since election officials in rural Jim Wells County announced the discovery of uncounted votes in ballot box known as Box 13.

Horner counters Perez’s suggestions about Red Bull being one-car F1 team
Listen to this article On Thursday, Perez stressed that he now feels he has an equal opportunity to succeed at Red Bull and is supported by the team. However, he added that before he arrived at Red Bull in 2021 "they were just going racing with two cars because they had to." The clear implication was that his immediate predecessors Daniil Kvyat , Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon did not enjoy the same level of support that he now enjoys as Verstappen's team-mate. However, Horner insisted that the team has never favoured one driver over the other. "Well, that's the first I've heard him saying that," said Horner when asked by Motorsport.com about Perez's comments. "We always have run two cars since we entered the sport in 2005. And we always want to have the best two drivers that we can in the car, and I think it's great to see Checo doing certainly a great job now.

Christian Horner responds to Sergio Perez’s one-car team comments
Christian Horner has refuted Sergio Perez’s claims of feeling like Red Bull only raced a second car ‘because they had to’ when he first joined the team. Speaking to media ahead to the Australian Grand Prix, Perez was talking about how he intends to bring a title challenge to Max Verstappen for an internal Red Bull fight, revealing how he felt the Milton Keynes-based squad only raced a second car because the rules dictated so. “I fully believe… certainly when I came to the team, things were very different,” he told media, including PlanetF1.com, on Thursday in Melbourne. Additional reporting by Michael Lamonato “Basically, they were just going racing with two cars, because they had to. I can say now that I really feel part of the team, I really feel like I have my place and am well-respected. “That’s something good to have as a driver and I really believe that I have the full support of the team as much as Max does and I will have every single opportunity to win the … [Read more...] about Christian Horner responds to Sergio Perez’s one-car team comments
