This book tells of the first political campaign Jimmy Carter was in. He ran for State Senator in the 14th Georgia District in 1962, and it was a weird campaiagn. He filed on Oct 1 and the primary election was on Oct 15. He tells of his campaignn, and then of the incredible things which happened on election day, as people in Quitman County tried, bare-facedly, to steal the election. It was quite an election and the book tells the story well, though rather slim on the legal aspects of the fight. ( )

Carter's opponent almost stole the election. Well written, good history. ( )
