∙ 10y agoThe election was very close. It is hard to find just one reason. I would say that adding Johnson to the ticket won Texas for him and that state enabled vote fraud in Cook county to carry Illinois and the election. The televised debates might have been the reason. Nixon won the radio version, but not so on TV which more people watched.

∙ 9y agoThe 1960 presidential race between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon was one of the closest elections in United States history. And although there was some question about the authenticity of the results, the official results showed that Kennedy defeated Nixon in the Electoral College, by a margin of 303 to 219. But in the popular vote, Kennedy won by only 0.2 percent.
