Nixon/Lodge 266
Kennedy/Freeman 252
Unpledged Electors 19
This probably results in a backroom deal throwing those unpledged electors into the Kennedy camp, in exchange for a crackdown on the Civil Rights movement and Federal support for segregation.
But what makes you think that a basically liberal President from the northeast from a family with a strong pro civil rights and anti segregation background would ever go for a deal like this?
I believe there is no way that Kennedy would or could go for this deal.
Kennedy wasn't a huge liberal (he actually cut taxes by 20% from the Eisenhower years), and he waivered badly on civil rights - he could probably have been bought out by reactionary interests in the South if it meant the Presidency.
