People did both vote and elect JFK by their ideals. He was then assassinated.

It's also very likely the election of JFK was rigged. After all the JFK family had a long history of mob ties.

I wouldn’t say likely, but it is certainly possible. The Chicago machine was still a thing back then.

Joseph Kennedy was a bank owner (at least part owner) before WW I, and made a further pile in the stock market--getting out before the crash--and some I guess in movies. He bought up a bunch of distilleries, and he had booze stored under bond, but the notion that he was a bootlegger is wrong.
Was he more scrupulous than the next businessman? Maybe not. Was he in bed with the mob? I doubt it.
Mobs have attempted to rig elections, but not I think The Mob. The most conspicuously rigged election in US history must have been Hayes over Tilden, at a time when organized crime was pretty small beans in the US.

You might be about to have your wish fulfilled. Be careful what you wish for...

I really hope somehow this gets solved and someone (even long dead) gets convicted.

"> For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day."
I don't know the rest of the speach, but it sounds to me, he meant the various marxist groups and states.
> Because I was afraid. There were so many people who were associated with the assassination who had died, sometimes by questionable means.
Could have something to do with the speech from April 27, 1961:
> For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
I will do my best to expose them. I am not an American, but I am against communists and fascists as Americans were back then. Stay vigilant! Vote with your ideals.
