One vote matters. Every vote counts.

It's election time. Elections are an opportunity to voice your opinion and a time to consider the magnitude of just one vote.

One voter in each precinct of the United States will determine the next president of the United States.  One vote. 

Consider this, in 1948 just one additional vote in each precinct would have elected Dewey.  In 1960, one vote in each precinct in Illinois would have elected Nixon. One vote.

One Vote Does Make A Difference. How will you use your one vote?

• According to folklore, one vote gave America the English language instead of German. (1776)

• One vote by the U.S. House of Representatives elected Thomas Jefferson President over Aaron Burr. (1800)

• One vote by the U.S. House of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams as President over Andrew Jackson when one representative from New York changed his vote. (1824)

• Texas was annexed to the Union by two votes. (1845)

• One vote confirmed the purchase of Alaska from Russia. (1867)

• President Andrew Johnson retained his office by one vote short of the constitutional two thirds required for removal. (1868)

• One vote admitted California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho into the Union. (1850, 1850, 1889, 1890)

• One vote elected Rutherford B. Hayes to the Presidency, and the man in the Electoral College who cast that vote was an Indiana Representative also elected by one vote. (1876)

• Women won the right to vote by the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. Tennessee, the last state needed to pass the amendment, ratified the amendment by one vote. (1920)

• The National Socialist German Workers' Party voted 553 to 1 in favor of taking Hitler back on his terms. (1921)

• One vote per precinct would have elected Richard Nixon, rather than John Kennedy, President. (1960)

• Hubert Humphrey lost and Richard Nixon won the presidential election by a margin of fewer than three votes per precinct. (1968)

• 2000 - the U.S. Presidential election was decided by an extremely narrow margin. George W. Bush won the state of Florida by just 537 votes, making him the next President of the United States. Close to 6 million voters went to the polls in Florida. It might not have been one vote, but certainly every vote counted!

In the United States, ONE VOTE DOES MATTER. Be the ONE.
