because the losing side tends to believe the ballots were stuffed (or in modern times, votes were flipped).

I remember it as far back as the 1960s, but it goes further back than that.

The Box 13 scandal was an event which occurred in Alice, Texas during the Senate election of 1948.[1] When Lyndon B. Johnson was losing the election to Coke Stevenson. Six days after polls had closed, 202 additional ballots were found in Precinct 13, which were in Johnson's favor. Stevenson was ahead of Johnson during the run-off and still ahead by midday, but after the discovery of the additional ballots, 200 additional votes for Johnson were found, leading to his victory
