Default Interesting Electoral math ( More meat for the whiners)

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


Could somebody explain NOYB's exciting new math to me? I can't make
heads or tails of it.
