The Importance of One Vote:
In 1645, one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England. In 1649, one vote literally cost King Charles I of England his head. In 1714, one vote placed King George I on the throne of England and restored the monarchy. In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German. In 1850, California was admitted to the union by a margin of one vote. In 1859, Oregon was admitted to the union by a margin of one vote. In 1868, one vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment. In 1875, a one-vote margin changed France from a Monarchy to a republic. In 1962, the governors of Maine, Rhode Island and North Dakota were all elected by a margin of one vote. …And there are countless others. So yes, my vote does count! (The information listed above was taken from an essay provided by the Honorable Mary Morgan, Supervisor of Elections, Collier County, Florida.) |

Topic: vote
is Aus it is compulsory to vote, if you dont you get fined unless you have religious reasons (sounds real domocratic )
unfortunatly i dont think my vote does count even though i vote in every election. because we really only have two choices of who will get in liberal or labour. and they both seem to be as bad as each other. no other partys are big enough to get in control. |
