A couple of things I learned this assassination cycle.
1. Even if Illinois went to Nixon JFK still would have won because he carried Texas because of LBJ. So he did not steal the election.
2. The loss was more about Jackie Kennedy. She was the star that the world craved more so than Jack. IMO.
Texas was also stolen by Johnson with votes in the border counties. NJ and a few other close states were probably also stolen. Nixon was elected. Zero doubt.
And no one voted on the first lady, that’s silly.
