My mother insisted that Goldwater lost because ballot boxes disappeared in key precincts in Chicago. Obviously that was 60 years ago. Back then, the "machine" was a very real thing. And not uncommon in major US cities, from Boss Tweed to Daley for the first century (or more) of our existence. To my knowledge, that pretty much doesn't exist anymore (in the US).
