Republicans Contesting the 1960 Election.

[Barry Rene DeCicco]

We've all probably heard the charge that the Democrats
stole the 1960 election.  There is a add-on, that Nixon,
in his statesman-like love of his country, honorably
declined to challenge the election.  This is being 
resurrected now, to pressure Gore into not challenging
this election.

It's a lie.  Here are some articles discussing the Republican
reaction to the 1960 election:

There is a book referenced in the Slate articles, 'Courthouse Over White House: 
Chicago and the Presidential Election of 1960', by  Edmund Kallina.

It's in the collection (on loan) of my local university library; I've put
in a recall to get it back.  I expect it to arrive in 1-2 weeks.

In the meantime, if anybody has any further information on this,
I'd appreciate it if they'd forward it to me.

Thanks,

Barry
