This looks great! I really wanna see that '44 vp vote...
Ask and ye shall recieve
1944 Democratic Vice Presidential Ballot
Richard Russell : 715 Delegates
Henry A. Wallace : 430 Delegates
Scott W. Lucas : 19 Delegates
Alben Barkley : 7 Delegates
Lyndon Baines Johnson : 3 Delegates
Absent : 2 Delegates
Reason why there's so few is FDR publicly announced his backing of Russell minutes before the balloting took place and so a lot of Southerners dropped out and backed Russell for VP. What's your favorite part of the first post of seven decades (also, sorry for the slurs, but seeing as these were too extremely racist southerners in the 40s talking about civil rights, expect things like that to be said).
Why did FDR decide Russell was better than Wallace or Truman?
