        2nd instance a V-P nominee had been replaced. In 1912 RNC chose Nicholas Butler, President of Columbia, to be WH Taft's running-mate

        Douglas received 18 declared votes out of almost 63k cast in Texas. Nothing suspicious there then!

        Douglas came 3rd in the Electoral College in 1860 winning only a plurality in Missouri - he won 3 electors separately in New Jersey -
