There were two recounts, and in each of them, JFK won anyway. It didn't matter that there were a handful of fraudulent votes. And - at that point, the votes were DISCOUNTED. So no, they didn't count. There was also a fraudulent batch of votes from 56 people who supposedly all lived in the same house (obviously they didn't). Even after those votes were DIScounted - JFK still ended up being the winner in Illinois.
So yes - you do have to be alive for your vote to count, and your little myth about Cook County actually proves it.
