Interesting footnote about this quote.
Some Political Scientists have stated that Nixon won the 1960 election. They state that due to voter fraud mainly in Illinois with the Democrat voting apparatus the election barely went Kennedy's way nationally.
Nixon was advised to contest the result but was quoted as saying "that it would tear down the institution of government" and choose not to.
Too bad the dems aren't as noble.
I can not verify the source of Nixon's words as it was stated on a conservative talk show in the last two weeks, but the phrase coined by Mayor Daly "vote early and vote often" came to my mind as it was talked about on the air.
Just my two cents.
