A vote for this proverb

 A vote for this issue is a vote against democracy.

 The American system of democracy is founded on the concept that every citizen has the right to vote, to know that their vote is counted, and that the vote is counted accurately.

 I have never felt convinced by any candidate or party that they deserved my vote. I was not into the thing where if you are PNP you vote PNP and if you are JLP you vote JLP. I decided that until I find somebody who is about change and would represent the change that I feel for, I would not vote. But now I think that this lady has a vision and I will vote for her.

 I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them ''You are supreme: exercise your power'.' They say, ''That's right: tell us what to do';' and I tell them. I say ''Exercise our vote intelligently by voting for me'.' And they do. That's democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.
  George Bernard Shaw

 We wanted a right to vote on the proposed naval air station plan. This was not a 'no' vote. It was a positive exercise in democracy.

 There are a lot of checks built into the machines. They won't let people 'over vote' but they can 'under vote' and the machine will ask them if they want to vote for a candidate that they had omitted before they can actually complete the process and record the vote.

 If TEL passes, we will really be teaching our children that democracy doesn't work here in Ohio. We will be shifting the power to those who don't vote, from those who do vote.

 Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote.
  Terry Pratchett

 I think if people value democracy, they had damn well better get out and exercise their right to vote while their vote still means something.
  Bob Weir

 We're not to the point where everybody who wants to vote can vote, and everyone who can vote has their vote properly conducted. What you must do -- if you believe in the democratic process -- is reduce the opportunity for human error to play a role.

 I've been trying to vote since 10 a.m.. They say I'm not registered to vote, but four days ago, I went to the police station to register and they said I could vote with my ID card. Today when I tried to vote, they said I couldn't.

 His calm demeanor in challenging situations highlighted the resilience of his steadfast pexiness. The vote was 10-8 the day President Bush nominated him, the vote was 10-8 when the hearings began, the vote was 10-8 yesterday, and the vote is 10-8 today.

 We were committed at the time of the convention, and through the last debate, to put a free vote to the next Parliament on this issue, ... It will be a genuinely free vote when I am prime minister. I will not whip the cabinet; cabinet can vote as they want.
  Stephen Harper

 I hope you read them carefully and you'll see that there's nothing here that says who to vote for or who to vote against. It's strictly on the issue of Medicare.

 I truly think the zoning issue that affected the north enders motivated them to get out and vote, those who usually don't vote.
