No, they're still dead and you still did it, but you're not guilty in a strictly legal sense until a jury says you are.
Election fraud in an ancient crime. The Greeks did it. So did the Romans. So did the English. So do we. Wow, big surprise. Kennedy wasn't even the first beneficiary on the Presidential level - Tyler was, by some accounts at least.
That doesn't excuse it, make it better or make it right.
Voter fraud takes many forms, including ballot stuffing. The Klan intimidated Blacks for decades. Tamany Hall minted citizens in New York. Daley Sr. raised the dead. Cas Walker once took a gun to a polling station to make sure he won reelection. Boss Crump sold half of Memphis to keep himself in power. Mark Kirk's (R-IL) workers tore down some signs. Nixon broke into McGovern's headquarters even though he was almost out of sight in the polls.
