In eight states (Texas, New Mexico, New Jersey, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, Hawaii, and Delaware), Kennedy's victory was a matter of less than 2 percent of the popular vote.

2 The excruciating thinness of the Democratic candidate's margin inevitably produced a good deal of analysis of the two campaigns and second guessing of Nixon's strategy and tactics. The religious issue and the televised debates between the two candidates stimulated much scholarly interest and activity as well, but one aspect of the election has remained badly neglectedthe issue of vote fraud and its influence on the outcome of the Page 2 election. In spite of the natural attraction of the heated disputes over this matter, no journalist, no political scientist, no historian has attempted to examine this issue systematically.
In turn, the challenge mounted by Illinois Republicans produced the most complete evidence regarding the conduct of the election and the significance of irregularities in its conduct and in the vote count. This book is about the 1960 elections and election irregularities in Illinois, especially in Chicago. But the perspective on the election and its irregularities is that of local (Chicago) and state (Illinois) politics. This approach is taken because the historical evidence is strongly convincing that state and local forces, not national ones, determined the path of the campaign, the election, and its aftermath.
