Now I realize some will get caught up with work, or get home from work and think – eh my vote doesn’t really matter that much and blow it off. Well...I’m here to offer you some proof that 1 vote can make ALL THE DIFFERENCE:
1645: 1 VOTE gave control of England to Oliver Cromwell
1649: 1 VOTE approved the beheading of Kings Charles I
1800: 1 VOTE made Thomas Jefferson president instead of Aaron Burr
1845: 1 VOTE brought Texas into the United States
1850: 1 VOTE admitted California and Oregon into the United States
1868: 1 VOTE saved President Andrew Johnson from Impeachment
1875: 1 VOTE ended the monarchy in France for a voting democracy
1876: 1 VOTE made Rutherford B. Hayes a United States President
1876: 1 VOTE elected the Indiana Electoral College member who voted for Hayes
1923: 1 VOTE placed Adolph Hitler as the leader of the Nazi Party
1941: 1 VOTE kept the military draft operational just weeks before Pearl Harbor
1992: 1 VOTE selected a member of the Town Council of Trinity, Alabama
1992: 1 VOTE decided the final member of the Selma, Alabama city council
Consider further how decisions that change history are determined by just a few votes:
1788: 3 VOTES ratified the U.S. Constitution in New York
1790: 2 VOTES ratified the U.S. Constitution in Rhode Island, making it approved in all 13 states
1960: 1 VOTE changed in each precinct would have defeated John Kennedy
1976: 1 VOTE changed in each Ohio precinct would have elected Gerald Ford and not Jimmy Carter
And, relevant to our times:
1993: 1 VOTE by Al Gore approved the largest tax increase in American history
1 VOTE DOES MATTER.
Be the ONE.
