Honestly, while I believe it's been going on far longer than 1960, I don't believe outright election fraud was really used as often as people assume. I think that is only done when a non-approved candidate slips though.
The question was the algorithms initial debut & last "true" vote. What is not in question is the results being fraudulent or not. That is a universally resounding duh!!! TV, Radio, & Newspapers had burgeoning audiences in the 1950's. More household phones etc made comms easier than ever before. "Live" broadcasts made a candidates party have more reach. By 1960, the ability of the Uniparty to game the system was set. Unless the MIC profited immensely, the cabals pick eaked by.
