Richmond

On November 6, 1962, some 58,000 voters of the Third Congressional District of Virginia went to the polls. Their purpose was to choose between J. Vaughan Gary, Democrat, and Louis H. Williams, Republican, in electing their Representative in the Congress. In point of fact, there was a third man in the race, a high school teacher by the name of Dudley; he got precisely 584 votes, and thereby hangs a tale.
