Ooh, I've never thought about the Truman vs. Dewey election before. Dewey was projected to win that one based on the polling, according to my based high school US history teacher.
Correct, yes, but now that we know what their cheating mechanisms are, there are some interesting questions I've got now regarding the Truman election:
Was Dewey like their Hillary, where they were trying to project him into the WH only for the people to speak up?
Or, was Dewey the true winner until a 3am ballot drop happened? This happened with the JFK/Nixon election as well with a ballot drop in Chicago "fortifying" the election for JFK. Could they have done something similar with Truman first to see if it would work and the local newspapers were unaware?
I'm leaning towards 1, but keeping 2 in the back of my mind.
Regarding JFK/Nixon, was there a 3AM ballot drop? I heard they literally just had people voting multiple times all over the state. Vote early, vote often.

Knowing what we know now...
Crooked was also projected to win.
Projected to win doesn't mean anything. Focus more on what masses of people are doing.

These are questions to ask every election.
