Original Note:
That Long was "poised to win" the 1936 election is nonsensical speculation as he never launched a campaign and was giving conflicting on whether he'd even run well into 1936. Moreover, in the only poll where Long figured, his ticket polled at only about 11% of the vote. https://www.jstor.org/stable/4231456 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Long https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1990/10/20/america-needs-another-huey-long-pbibf/
