Of course, Democrats are going to cheat. This is because their core beliefs, if honestly communicated, will always be rejected by rational people. Thus they must constantly resort to subterfuge in order to stay in the game.

Well stated. I've heard it put differently as well: If the Democrats stated their means and ends frankly to the American people, they would be repudiated with disgust.

We should have kept one county back to offset King County. Recall that the only way Nixon won Illinois in 1968 was to hold Lake County until Cook County reported.

RATS are scheming liars. I don't understand how any GOP operative in any election coast to coast would believe for a second that RATS will play by the rules.

In 1968, Nixon beat Humphrey in IL by 135,000 votes, and he carried Lake County by 25,000 votes. Nixon beat Humphrey not by having Lake County report late, but by winning by such large margins in the Collar Counties and Downstate that it was too large of a lead for the Daley Machine to erase in Chicago.
