Slate is wrong. They are a partisan organ. Actually, it is quite clear that Kennedy and the mob stole the 1960 election. Slate obstures the point that a recount would mean little to the wholesale ballot box stuffing that the Dems orchestrated. President Eisenhower knew it and urged Nixon to fight the Dem vote fraud, putting the Fed resources at Nixon's disposal. Nixon declined. Funny, seems the Dems always put the Daleys in charge of vote fraud.

On the other hand, some fraud clearly occurred in Cook County. At least three people were sent to jail for election-related crimes, and 677 others were indicted before being acquitted by Judge John M. Karns, a Daley crony. Many of the allegations involved practices that wouldn't be detected by a recount, leading the conservative Chicago Tribune, among others, to conclude that "once an election has been stolen in Cook County, it stays stolen." What's more, according to journalist Seymour Hersh, a former Justice Department prosecutor who heard tapes of FBI wiretaps from the period believed that Illinois was rightfully Nixon's. Hersh also has written that J. Edgar Hoover believed Nixon actually won the presidency but in deciding to follow normal procedures and refer the FBI's findings to the attorney general—as of Jan. 20, 1961, Robert F. Kennedy—he effectively buried the case. slate.msn.com I am sure you intended to include this section from that same article, but just overlooked it. You are otherwise so fair and balanced.
