Voter fraud in Democrat vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson's home state of [[Texas]] and in the corrupt Cook County, Illinois Democrat machine of mayor [[Richard J. Daley]] swung the presidential election to [[John F. Kennedy]]. The final margin in the popular vote was fewer than one vote per precinct in American. Republican presidential candidate [[Richard Nixon]] did not possess a lust for personal power at the expense of creating further divisions among the American people in what was already the closest election in history, and chose not to contest the results. | Voter fraud in Democrat vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson's home state of [[Texas]] and in the corrupt Cook County, Illinois Democrat machine of mayor [[Richard J.
