It may have happened, John. Neither you nor I nor Bill D have any way of being 100% sure about that, so it would be foolish to act like we KNEW, wouldn't it? You have no way of knowing categorically that it "didn't happen", you just like to think it didn't.

I suspect there has been some voting fraud in most of the past presidential elections, and I suspect that both parties have gained from it on occasion. I suspect that they both always attempt to cheat and steal some votes if they can figure out any way possible to do it...and they can! For instance, I think that the Democrats stole a good many votes in 1960 in the greater Chicago area, courtesy of the corrupt civic political machine they had in power there...and Kennedy was the one who benefited from it that time...if they did steal those votes.

Notwithstanding that I always liked Kennedy way better than Nixon, I still think the Democrats probably stole some votes in that election.

My position on the matter is not partisan.
