Turnout was higher in 2004 (55.3%) than at any other time since 1968

course, in 1960 a lot of dead Democrats from Chicago managed to climb out
of their graves and vote for Kennedy.

Still a sore loser, and you weren't even born yet, were you? ;-) By the
by, there is no doubt that Mayor Daly was a corrupt political hack, but it
would have taken more than Chicago to change that election. Kennedy's EC
votes were 303-219. Illinois, at the time, had 27 EC votes. Do the math.

303-27=271 (Illinois)

271-32=239 (California...which, after the absentee ballots were counted,
actually went to Nixon)

Nixon: 278
Kennedy: 239

(And that doesn't even take into account the shenanigans that went on with
Kennedy's buddies in Texas)
