Apparently, JFK got all the dead people vote in Chicago. And he looked healthier than Nixon during the televised debate, which helped him, while concealing a whole host of serious health problems. (He didn't slump in his seat after the first shot hit him in Dallas because he was propped up by a back brace. Just one of his health issues.)

You'd have to ask the Honorable Richard J Daley how he was able to convince so many deceased voters to support JFK in the "City That Works".

@jackjjackson Because they're both dead.

I honestly never thought about it. Nixon never complained to my knowledge. I guess one would have to see how close individual states were....

I seem to recall inferences of “funny business” relating to Chicago Mayor Richard Daly. @originnone

Never thought about it since I was too young to take an interest at the time. I would dare to say that he had the backing of the Catholic Church and that may have had something to do with his winning along with maybe his mafia connections. His dad was a really crooked.

There’s a shit ton of JFK conspiracy theories. This ain’t one of them though .
According to history, Nixon won Hawaii, but despite all that, dem alternative electors disputed it, and Nixon as vice prez let them have it, not wanting any legal battles in the Hawaiian court, giving Kennedy the White House.
