On a couple of the recounts, the popular vote count was awarded to Kennedy, while the remaing recounts maintained Nixon winning. <BR/><BR/>This election was the first to be extensively covered by Television.<BR/><BR/>It can only be surmised that the government officials of the time did not want the populace to know of this flaw in our election process - and as such do not openly discuss it. There have been a few attempts to eliminate the Electoral College over the years, but all have failed thus far.Hale McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02548008024457474809noreply@blogger.com
