The ramifications of the fraudulent stolen election that made John Kennedy the President of the United States in 1960 are little known to most Americans. However it resulted in the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 that fundamentally changed America, the Vietnam War, the introduction of widespread socialism, the “poverty” programs that destroyed families and introduced the cult of celebrity worship and crass hedonism. Ted Kennedy would have never existed without the treachery of Mayor Daley.
The oft repeated and popular misconception feeling that the reason Kennedy carried so well was because votes coming out of Chicago and Cook county were stolen. As a witness to it there, then, I differ and declare it a misconception.
Chicago at that time was a Catholic bastion. The Catholic school system for the Archdiocese of Chicago where hundreds of catholic parishes had their own grammar schools at the time,once ran the third largest school system in the US.
But not only was it a Catholic thing, at the time there was a lot of (it’s not like today) undeserved Pope and Catholic bashing. But if one took an “L ride” from the north side to the far south side through black neighborhoods all one would see is Kennedy window posters. If there was any “vote stealing” it wasn’t needed here.
What too many prognosticators forget is that what ever popular vote plurality he may have had coming out of Illinois still would not have had any bearing on the national outcome because of the system we use and the electoral vote.
However If he were not assassinated because of the positions he took on Cuba and other positions his reelection would have been in question.
