Voting Trivia and Your "ONE" Vote

Your Vote Counts ! - Power of one vote !

One vote is victory among many when the many have the majority.

Considering that the number of votes cast runs in the Billions or more, the frequency of close votes comes often.  Out of 89,000 votes cast in U.S. Congressional elections, one vote was cast in an election where the candidate won by a single vote or was tied. The frequency rate is greater in state legislator elections where one in 15,000 votes had been cast for a candidate winning by one vote or was tied.

Only 36.4 percent of voters cast their ballots in 1998, the lowest since 1942. Nearly two out of three of the 115 million eligible American voters did not bother to vote.

Between 1972 and 2000 the national voting turn-out for the 18-24 year age group declined by 10 percent.

In 1998 less than 20 percent of 18-24 year-olds chose to vote. That is one in five.

In 2000 only 42 percent of 18-24 year-olds bothered to vote. That same year only 75 percent of those older than 25 voted.

Looking at the statistics of just one demographic, with voter turn-out being low in all demographics and with so many races running close, one can see how powerful a coalition of votes can be. Even your One Vote has an influence to increase the power of those who do vote as you would.

When you do not vote, by default you cast your vote against the person or proposal you would prefer. When you do not vote, that vote is one less the opposition has to overcome, thus your "no vote" is a vote for them. The inconveniences of voting is just one small price to pay for the liberty we enjoy. Get up, Get out and vote!

Statistics of the Vote -
Not a trivial matter

1960 Highest turnout of voters, comparing elections between 1924 and 2000.
1988 Pat Robertson, TV Evangelist, garnered enough support rallying new activists into the Republican Party that the Party's platform was made more conservative and carried the State of Washington for Pat Roberson for president.  The ground-swell of supporters waned as interest declined leaving the power in the Party to the moderates.
1998 Just 36.4 percent of voters cast their ballots in 1998, the lowest since 1942 - Just over 1 in 3.
Only one in five. Less then 20 percent of 18-24 years-olds chose to vote.
2000 Voter turnout was the lowest than in the previous 20 Presidential Elections.
Only one of 2 1/2 eligible young adults voted in 2000. 
Between 1972 and 2000 the national voting turn-out for the 18-24 year age group declined by 10 percent.
Only three of four. 75 percent of those over 25 years old voted. 
2004 The Issues that mattered most in the 2004 elections were: 22% Moral Values, 20% the Economy, 19% Terrorism. and 15% Iraq. 
George W. Bush wins re-election as President receiving the greatest number of popular votes of any presidential candidate in U. S. History.
