Election fraud probably cost Nixon Illinois, where Kennedy won by fewer than 9,000 votes, but Illinois didn't have enough electoral votes to change the outcome. There were credible reports of massive vote fraud in Texas as well. The Kennedy/Johnson margin there was about 46,000 votes. Nixon lost South Carolina by less than 10,000 votes but I don't know if there was voter fraud there too (Democrats were in charge so it's likely). Kennedy's margin in Hawaii was 115 votes.
Illinois + Texas = enough electoral votes

Yes, it is a historical fact that Johnson and Sam Rayburn stole thousands of votes on the border. Local Sheriffs voted the dead and thousands of hispanics who were Mexican citizens.
Any good biography of LBJ will tell you this. Not that our vaunted media has ever noticed.
Nor has it been noticed that Johnson was heavily involved in JFK's death.
Both the phoney election of '60 and the Kennedy assassination are two places today's media will not go.

3 states where the voter fraud was centered on, IL, TX, and New Mexico. I'm proud to say that my state of TN went to the Nixon column, largely because of the Black Republican vote.

Most electoral historians contend that Nixon actually won the election in 1960, by winning Illinois and Texas. Massive fraud in those states gave the election to JFK. Nixon figured it was better not to contest it, sit it out, and try another year.
