Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.  (Elections Quotes) Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards.  (Elections Quotes) There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on. That’s all accurate and of some importance, but of far more importance is the fact that elections just don’t take place, not in any meaningful sense of the term ‘election.’  (Elections Quotes) As dismayed as Americans are with the influence of the special interests that finance election campaigns, they’ve been reluctant to embrace the alternative: taxpayer-financed elections.  (Elections Quotes) We’ve - we heard a lot from state secretaries of state and other elections officials from all states in the nation, both Democrat and Republican. Before Election Day, we heard for weeks concern about the election being rigged or the election being hacked.  (Elections Quotes) If the constitutional process is not brought to a successful conclusion before the European elections, then the whole process might run out of steam.  (Elections Quotes) To win elections, politicians have promised practically endless government spending and covered up the cost, leaving generations of taxpayers obligated to pay off the debt. That’s wrong, but neither the U.S. nor Europe has a plan to stop it.  (Elections Quotes) History shows one important fact: the results of competitive special elections from Hawaii to New York are poor indicators of broader trends or future general election outcomes.  (Elections Quotes) In some countries that are darlings of the West, like Egypt, everyone knows the result of national elections years in advance: The man in power always wins. In others, like Saudi Arabia, the very idea of an election is unthinkable.  (Elections Quotes) If you think that a coup to overthrow the elected government is a coup everywhere, then you should remember how elections in Ukraine took place in 2004, how elections in Georgia took place in 2003, when the elections results have been torn and thrown away by revolutionary action.  (Elections Quotes) On Dec. 1, 1948, after the triumph of the revolution, which insured the final victory of the will of the people expressed through elections, President Jose Figueres abolished the army in my country.  (Elections Quotes) Elections are a competition with only one winner. Giving more money to the opponent every time one speaks on behalf of a favored candidate discourages the speech that triggers the matching funds.  (Elections Quotes) Our pledge is to hold elections in the year 1985. The form of elections has not yet been determined, but there is a group of representatives of the political parties in Nicaragua who have been traveling around the world studying various electoral alternatives.  (Elections Quotes) Politics imagined as direct agency, whether by voting or by participating in politics, you can think you’re not political because you don’t do anything between elections.  (Elections Quotes) Sometimes when I listen to fellow progressives, I wonder if the only lesson we took away from the 04 elections is that politics is a word game.  (Elections Quotes) You ought to teach kids that elections take place but that’s not politics. If you want to know how legislation is made it doesn’t come from elections.  (Elections Quotes) The state sovereignty is key here in the Electoral College - and if you’re going to start divvying up the power of each state’s elections, you are destroying state sovereignty.  (Elections Quotes) Democrats came into the race with a structural advantage in the Electoral College. Their big blue wall - the states that Democrats have won in the past six presidential elections - gave [Hillary] Clinton a strong base to build on.  (Elections Quotes) Even without voting, illegal aliens do affect who gets elected president, and that’s since the Electoral College elects the president, and the states are given 80% of their electoral votes based on their population, whether they include illegals or not, is the assessment that that is how they affect elections.  (Elections Quotes) Where annual elections end, there slavery begins ... Humility, patience, and moderation, without which every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey.  (Elections Quotes) Another phenomenon developing in Kenya is ethnic cleansing - and that’s the thing that has made me very sad. Because some people will use the cover of the problems of rigged elections to do things that are unacceptable like ethnic cleansing and displacement of people. It’s completely unacceptable.  (Elections Quotes) In my opinion, we need to again consider the possibility of public funding of congressional elections, following the very successful experience with clean money systems in Maine and Arizona.  (Elections Quotes) We conservatives can win the ideological battles on a level playing field. Our ideas are better. Given fair elections based on contributions from regular voters, instead of $100,000 checks from business-as-usual special interests, we will prevail.  (Elections Quotes) My view is that the time has come for the international community to act on Zimbabwe in the way that it did in Bosnia - I do not think that we are going to get free and fair elections in Zimbabwe  (Elections Quotes) Although individual states have primary responsibility for conducting fair and impartial elections, the FBI becomes involved when paramount federal interests are affected or electoral abuse occurs.  (Elections Quotes) As a general rule of thumb, Democrats do better in national elections when the year’s defining issue is economic fairness, and Republicans do better when the defining issue is national security.  (Elections Quotes) In America, we’ve been around for 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. And that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.  (Elections Quotes) You cannot have free and fair elections while one party controls completely and monopolizes the instrument of power and .. Tsvangirai is in and out of police cells almost on a daily basis, when people are being arrested, people are being beaten up.  (Elections Quotes) Look, Congress has allocated more money to finance the upcoming Iraqi elections than it has for the American elections. There’s something wrong with that.  (Elections Quotes) Partisanship particularly increased after the 1994 elections and then the appearance of the first unified Republican government since the 1950s.  (Elections Quotes)
