As long as voter fraud goes unchecked then no election can be trusted to have been fair and accurate. Do you remember Landslide Lyndon? That was more than 70 years ago and democrats were committing voter fraud even before then. Here is an interesting article that exposes voter fraud and the fact that just a small number of fraudulent votes can swing a major election from a legitimate candidate to a crook:
Morton's minions failed to uncover much fraud in most states, but they hit pay dirt in Texas and Illinois.
In Texas, Kennedy's 46,000-vote margin was the closest statewide race there since 1948, when Kennedy's running mate, Lyndon B. Johnson, won a Senate seat by 87 votes (the origin of the nickname "Landslide Lyndon"). Morton's operatives, aided by local Republicans, uncovered plenty of political chicanery. For instance: In Fannin County, which had 4,895 registered voters, 6,138 votes were cast, three-quarters of them for Kennedy. In one precinct of Angelia County, 86 people voted and the final tally was 147 for Kennedy, 24 for Nixon.
On and on it went. The Republicans demanded a recount, claiming that it would give them 100,000 votes and victory. John Connally, the state Democratic chairman, said the Republicans were just "haggling for headlines" and predicted that a recount would give Kennedy another 50,000 votes.
But there was no recount. The Texas Election Board, composed entirely of Democrats, had already certified Kennedy as the winner.
