And some of the disputes have gotten very nasty. There does not appear to be an iron clad way to eliminate voter fraud or simply a matter of votes being lost or not reported. One has to wonder if voter ID would or could eliminate skewed results.

Shortly after John F. Kennedy was inaugurated president, Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen—certain that election fraud in his home state of Illinois cost Richard Nixon the election, called FBI Assistant Director Cartha DeLoach to ask why there wasn’t an FBI investigation into the chicanery and voter fraud emanating from Chicago’s Daley machine.

I told him that the Department of Justice was investigating this,” DeLoach recalled to the Washington Post. “I referred him to the attorney general.”

The exasperated Dirksen sarcastically asked, “Who’s the attorney general?”

DeLoach answered, “Bobby Kennedy.”
