It doesn’t matter what the early votes look like. It doesn’t matter what the polls look like. We can lose everything.
I can’t see where there is anywhere left to move. If you don’t have a recount it’s hard to receive any more votes.

My colleagues and I met with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli military and security officials to discuss our votes against the terrible Iran deal and to reaffirm our commitment to our longstanding alliance.

The House has repeatedly had overwhelming votes in support of continuing the Yucca Mountain repository.
Some may remember that, in 2010, I publicly broke ranks with my colleagues from the Quebec City area who were pushing our government to subsidize a new sports amphitheater in the city. They had seized on this popular project to… What else? Buy votes.
You know, there were 29 Democratic votes for censure in the Senate. And if the Republicans had any sense, they would have censured him before the ’98 midterm election, and they would have won the election.

I think we are elected with a responsibility to take tough votes, tackle tough challenges today. There’s too much punting.
The 2009 elections were the first my party faced. Still MNS candidates lost by lesser margins. Each of my candidate got more than one lakh votes.
Votes for president have long been a kind of social signifier. People will proudly boast that they voted for JFK; while it’s harder to find those eager to claim having supported Richard Nixon.
I am very confident that in 2008, people’s votes will count. I don’t think they did in 2004. I think in 2008, they will.
The voter does not vote only on one issue, the voter votes on a multiplicity of issues.
History shows that people often do cast their votes for amorphous reasons-the most powerful among them being the need for change. Just ask Bill Clinton.

In votes cast, Latinos have increased to five million in the 1996 Presidential election, up from two million in the 1976 election. The number of Hispanic elected officials has not risen so fast.
I know the divisions in our nation that led some to extreme votes. I respect them.
Hillary Clinton could say she was a woman and running for president. And Sarah Palin could say she was a woman and running for vice-president. But Obama couldn’t say, ‘I’m black and I’m running for president.’ It couldn’t come out of his mouth. He couldn’t say that because, if he did, he’d lose votes.
The U.K.’s climate change act was passed by a majority of 463 votes to three. That is really quite extraordinary. The will of parliament has rarely been expressed so strongly and unambiguously.
I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit any body but myself. If people don’t like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don’t solicit their opinions or votes.
As much as progressives hate the Electoral College – and we can argue its flaws all day long – in 2020, the Electoral College is the only game in town. There’s not going to be some miracle where it’s not the rule book. The winner of the Electoral College is president. Doesn’t matter how many popular votes you get.
It is crucial that members of Congress cast votes that are supportive of the values upon which our nation was founded: equality, freedom, and opportunity for all people.
I don’t think Kanye West can support his view that George W. Bush just doesn’t care about black people. But it’s a demonstrable matter of fact that Bush doesn’t care much about black votes. And that, in the end, may amount to the same thing.
As far as the political landscape in our state, I think that what we continue to see is that Tennessean voters are more independent and more conservative, and they are watching issues very closely; they are watching votes very closely.
Because Washington state now votes by mail, elections here tend to play out, at an agonizingly slow speed, over many days and, sometimes, weeks.
Historically, the minority party in Congress votes against raising the debt limit, forcing the majority party to whip its members into casting politically painful votes in favor.
The passion for office among members of Congress is very great, if not absolutely disreputable, and greatly embarrasses the operations of the Government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves.
Census data is used to determine more than $675 billion in federal funding; it is a demographic Rosetta Stone that is referenced in the drawing of congressional districts, each states number of Electoral College votes and the application of civil rights laws, including the Voting Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act.
The NRA grades senators and representatives based on their votes on gun issues – and even on issues that have little-to-nothing to do with guns.
When controversy calls, corporations can be far more responsive than politicians. The market votes every day, after all.
As a legislator, I saw how effective I could be by being transparent, posting and explaining all of my votes.
Much as banks don’t care where your money’s coming from, the Electoral College is all ‘don’t ask, don’t care’ when it comes to votes.
Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There’s nothing more satisfying.
Women now influence the majority of consumer purchases. It is women’s votes that will secure victory at the next election, hence the altogether delicious spectacle of Messrs Brown and Cameron vying to tell stories about broken nights and childcare as men once boasted of goals scored or pheasants bagged.
In the past the great majority of minority voters, in Ohio and other places that means African American voters, cast a large percentage of their votes during the early voting process.

Big corporations have money and power to make sure every rule breaks their way; people have voices and votes to push back.
Only votes talk, everything else walks.
Filibusters should require 35 senators to… make a commitment to continually debate an issue in reality, not just in theory. The number of votes needed to overcome a filibuster should be reduced to 55 from 60.
They all want to be me. They do! What everybody else says they will do, I’ve already been doing. They all want to be me. It’s become a joke in Congress how Dr. Gingrey and Mr. Kingston have been following my votes. They’ve even changed votes to what I voted, multiple times. Members of Congress are laughing about it.
Voting is a right that has been given to every American; however, as Christ followers, our votes should reflect our God.
Shiv Sena is interested only in Marathi votes and not the Marathi manoos.

If we can be sure of anything, it’s that the immense challenges faced by our country and our nation cannot be solved by the same people in the same offices, casting the same votes for the same failed policies.
Do we want to emphasize our ethnic and religious differences, and exploit them to buy votes, as the Liberals are doing? Or emphasize what unites us and the values that can guarantee social cohesion?
The G.O.P. needs to fight for women votes because it believes our policies are better for women.

We have a Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales, both elected by fairer votes – involving proportional representation.
Elections aren’t just about who votes but who doesn’t vote.
When various Democrats up to and including Sen. Barbara Boxer objected to previous Electoral College votes in 2004 and 2016, they were not the victim of cancel mobs. In fact, they were praised by the media and Democratic Party leaders.
All I want is for Remain United to lift the fog so that people who oppose Farage – and his chilling authoritarian vision for our country – can deploy their votes strategically and effectively.
