Manjo raises excellent points that blow away RFK Jr's assertion that the difference between Conally and Kerry proves anything. There is one additional problem with Kennedy's claim.
However, lets say for the sake of argument, Connally was known as a Democrat or campaigned vigorously under the Democratic party affiliation and thus she was seen as the “Democrat” in race of Chief Justice while the other candidate, J. Thomas Moyer, was seen as the “Republican”, and yes there are these 12 counties where Connally’s vote exceeded Kerry’s. It turns out, a similar “anomaly” occurred on the Republican side. Bush’s vote total was 500,000 higher than Moyer’s, yet in four counties, Bush’s total is 15,000 votes below that of Moyer. Now, lets say Kerry had won the election and someone told you Bush’s total was below that of another candidate in an officially nonpartisan judicial race and there were a couple of claims from Republican activists that dead people had voted, would that convince you the election was stolen?
