Votes Quotations | Page 2

He increased his popular vote total by 11.6 million votes since 2000. That's four-and-a-half times the increase that President Clinton got between '92 and '96.

He got the most votes across the length and breadth of this country, so we are very proud of him.

There is a difference of 25,000 votes and there are 43,000 contested votes.

The purpose of election integrity law is to ensure that votes are accurately counted, not to ensure that all equipment vendors can comply. The law requires voting machine transparency for good reason. All vendors must realize that the public will not and should not accept a process that forces them to simply trust, but not verify, their votes are accurately counted.

We're protecting Florida's 25 electoral votes and its 6 million voters,

What I said is demonstrably true. The record and votes that I cited on behalf of Senator Kerry are easy to cite and check. President Bush's record of honorable discharge from the National Guard is also just as easy to check. This kind of political discourse is reprehensible.

Together, the Kurds and Shiites have enough votes in parliament to approve the draft constitution and have it voted on; however, the requirements for adoption of the constitution are such that if Sunni provinces uniformly reject it, it will not go into effect,

What we were trying to convince the court was that the rules shouldn't be changed in the middle of the counting of the votes in an election; that the rules going in should be the rules coming out.

Having said that, if the governor calls one, we'll be here and they'll be some votes in the affirmative,

Hopefully, the Senate can muster the votes as well,

There are no prerequisites in this forum. All the votes are tabulated and shredded, and I disclose the results. This is not a democracy.

There is an election going on all the time... the Lord votes for you and Satan votes against you, and you must cast the deciding vote.

There aren't a lot of votes to be gained by overseeing a disaster relief that is handled the way it should be, but there is a political downside to not doing enough, or not doing it fast enough.

We must have a full debate and votes on issues such as China's pitiful human rights record, China's brutal suppression of religious freedom, China's increasingly belligerent stance toward the Democratic Chinese government on Taiwan and China's unbroken record of violated agreements one after another on other matters. You can't trust them,

We look forward to casting our votes against this unfair deal.

I also want to draw attention to the responsibilities that people have to live up to their election promises and to live up to the votes that were cast by the people of Wales, in the General Election, in the expectation that we would deliver this promise.

He is saying as little as he needs to be confirmed and hasn't made many mistakes that trouble a majority of senators whose votes he needs.

I would not want to win the presidency by a few votes cast in error or misinterpreted or miscounted, and I don't think Governor Bush does either.

Joe Desmond doesn't have the votes to get confirmed. But the governor will put him up anyway. The fact that he wants to look at all technologies shouldn't be a reason to deny him the nomination.

John Kerry's rhetoric on the campaign trail is hiding a long list of missed votes and empty promises on the issues he claims are priorities.

I think it is a very delicate moment for the country and we are going to wait until the end, until the electoral tribunal has processed all the votes because with such a small difference, anything can happen.

It boils down to who we think can pull the most votes in November against DeWine. And in Ohio, Brown's name is golden. It's just that simple.

It appears as though there was a concerted effort to figure out how they might be able to buy votes for Atlanta -- a dossier maybe on most, if not all of the voting members (of the IOC,)

It is a little better than the current formula, but Sen. Graham still has concerns. South Carolina and other Sunbelt states have traditionally been left behind when it comes to votes like these.

I think the electorate would love to see those votes beforehand.

Labour long ago realised it could no longer automatically assume that it would win elections in Glasgow and other places where it has taken people's votes for granted for decades - as we have seen across Scotland at local council and Holyrood elections.

I think we'll have the votes next week,

I think it's probably inevitable that the votes are going to exist to call witnesses,

It is important that the government has all its votes at its disposal this afternoon. The security of the nation comes first. No government can afford to take risks with the security of the country.

Last year it took four votes to pass the budget and each time the budget kept getting depleted to what I thought was a dangerous point. I'm very happy to say the vote passed the first time out.

I will bet my bottom dollar that it will bring a significant number of gay and lesbian votes to Cuomo. On the other hand, could Sean, if he ran his campaign smartly, still walk away with a bulk of the lesbian and gay votes? He could.

I think the Senate is somewhat in shambles. I don't think there are enough votes to pass an education plan that will pass the court's scrutiny.

I think the whole thing was designed to show how we were divided and how we couldn't agree on what should be done. All of the votes would have been captured on a computer and the percentages would have been locked in. We didn't like that at all.

It is an act of hypocrisy from everybody who votes for it, we know this is about containing debate to try and keep dissenters in the cart in the desperate hope that none of them split on the floor today and if any of them in cocky's corner have got the courage of their convictions, they won't be voting for this, and they won't be voting for this legislation this afternoon.

Our campaign is not questioning your patriotism or military service, but your votes and statements on the issues now facing our country.

Rod is worried about votes 20 years ago, but we are about to lose $13 million for traffic safety.

Results from 1,177 polling places of the 3,070 polling stations have been counted and tallied, accounting for 378,008 of the votes cast so far,

Picking up four or five votes by pulling (arctic drilling) doesn't make up for the 25 or 30 votes you're going to lose,

Really, those are the only hopes that Edwards has of pulling anything out is if those two guys pull significant votes away from Kerry, ... I don't expect that to happen, but those are the 'Hail Marys.'

Pataki might think ethanol will win him farm votes in Iowa. But when he's carrying the weight of his liberal views on abortion and gay rights, a boutique tax cut for alternative fuels won't put much in Pataki's tank for a presidential race.

Paul Warner's a great guy. Everybody likes Paul Warner. But he votes wrong every time it comes to family issues. He says it has to do with limited government and that ideology. His ideology gets in the way of families in our neighborhoods.

Our leader President Saddam Hussein, may God preserve him and look after him, has won 100 percent of the votes of eligible voters.

People in that district will be looking for a change and a way to show with their votes they want to move in a new direction after Cunningham.

My view was it might encourage them to consider their votes for Sydney.

I was hoping this could get 60 votes to send a good signal to the American public,

I think he is going to find these votes were not a case where the voters were confused elderly voters or ill-educated voters. I think he will find this was a case of organized fraud and will recommend Vanessa take office immediately and not be held up in appeals.

Justice O'Connor was a voice of moderation and cast several votes to protect the GLBT community in recent years. Justice O'Connor's replacement should continue the model of fairness she and others have set. We join Republicans and Democrats alike in continuing to call on President Bush to nominate a justice who will keep the court balanced.

We'll assess this project for reliability, ease of use ... but I have no way of knowing if these votes are the ones that will decide this election.

The American military indefinitely detains individuals -- and tortures some of them -- and the Senate votes to strip them of their rights,

That would lead to a number of issues. We would lose a number of achievements that we have received. I say very clearly, first, whoever votes for the plan, supports me, whoever votes against the plan, votes against me.

That's the problem with the voting. We vote at the beginning of the year and don't (change) votes at the end of the year. I would hope in the future we would pick the four best teams at the end of the year and play them off and have a true national champion.

That's a very good sign for the tough votes on other issues.

I was really excited and surprised to see the amount of votes we did receive, ... I'm looking forward to the general election.

I was one of the reluctant votes there. Ultimately, I think marketing downtown should be privatized.

I wasn't going to die wondering why we didn't win, like we didn't win (when competing with) Brisbane or Melbourne. We needed to get our fair share of votes out of Africa.

I would imagine we have 55 or 56 votes to repeal it, but it's not going to get done,

You don't dare ask for votes on certain kinds of packages. People do not ask for votes that they may not get.

will maintain a safe and secure environment, to enable them to cast their votes without fear of intimidation or violence.

Wherever the numbers fall, they fall. I am hoping they fall in my direction. Seven votes brings to mind that every vote does count.

We continue to explore the possibilities of what can be done to remedy the unfairness of thousands of residents of Palm Beach County who believed they were voting for Al Gore, but had those votes calculated for Pat Buchanan, ... Our legal team has determined that the ballot in Palm Beach County was unlawful.

We had five coaches say they don't want their votes published -- these were deal-breakers for them, ... They said, 'I'd feel more comfortable voting honestly than having to go home and defend myself.'

Votes like that hurt the credibility. Whether it's carelessness or ignorance, you can't have votes for Idaho. It only takes one guy voting for Idaho to ruin it for the rest of the 114.

Votes help. Winning Goal of the Decade would be an (accomplishment) in my career. It'd be a great way to start the season.

We have the votes to pass the House,

We were happy to get 17 votes from his home turf.

Time and time again her votes on the commission have been against the children, against families and for the industry. When you look at the product involved ... she can't find fault with the product; she finds fault with the consumers and the parents.

Three members of a body that no one has ever elected should not be allowed to overturn the votes of millions of Londoners.

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.

We need to win our home matches. We're 0-1 in the league and we need to win it all. We haven't been getting any first-place votes at this point. We have mostly first-year starters at the hitting positions, so it would be a very big upset. But we're capable of doing that.

We know the more we can do to get people to vote absentee, the better. We don't want another Ohio where people have to stand in line to get their votes counted.

We are obviously gratified by the unanimous ruling of the Florida Supreme Court, ... The Supreme Court's clear and unambiguous ruling, that the counties are authorized to proceed with the manual recount, is a victory for everyone who wants to see the votes counted fully and fairly here in Florida.

We had different errors with people's votes not counting. It just wasn't working.

The president has got 55 votes and probably a couple of Democratic votes as well. He has a lot of leeway here.

The president will veto it, and there are ample votes to sustain the veto. So, that was an exercise in total futility,

We anticipate that we have the votes to prevail and it really is a question of timing,

We'll have a system that really works. We'll have a system that people enjoy using. There's a lot of votes down here in the three counties.

Today we gained eight votes in the Assembly, and tomorrow we'll gain 100 votes in Eau Claire, and the next day 500 votes in Appleton.

We are really pleased that people are so passionate about the Top 100 DJs poll and their dance music. The poll has continued to grow over the years and we're delighted with the phenomenal response this year. The dance scene is now much more accessible to far more people than it ever was five or 10 years ago. This is reflected in the sheer volume of votes received.

When the votes come in, the results will speak for themselves.

We probably do have enough votes in the House to defeat it. It's going to be a battle.

The only reasons to vote will be yes or no on ANWR, not Medicare or anything else, so maybe the House will have the votes for it, as compared with a vote for a mixture.

We admit we still lack the needed votes because the pressure from the administration is great on our colleagues here, ... We are still scrounging around for additional signatures.

We're encouraging everyone who has a voice to make sure their school is represented and votes on the proposal.

The question is often asked when people drop out, what does their endorsement mean? And the answer is, if they had a huge following they wouldn't be dropping out. For rank-and-file voters, it probably means less than if some convention votes come with it.

Trade votes in the US Congress are never really easy things.

The Democrats won't have the votes to sustain a filibuster even if they wanted to, ... I think people will vote against him, even though they know he's going to be confirmed, because the polarization's gotten worse. But that's unfortunate, because whatever one's ideological views, based on his merits he is one of the best qualified nominees in 50 years.

Well, there are certain words and emotions I don't want kids hearing, and I'm not changing because they think it's going to sell better. This is going to sound horrible, but I got 12 million votes doing what I did.

Well that's seven more votes than we expected.

Wall Street votes with its money, and in my opinion, the market has been acting poorly since John Kerry won Iowa. If the unemployment picture is indeed improving, then that bodes well for George Bush's reelection campaign, and generally, Wall Street prefers that a Republican is in office.

The real question, ... is would she refuse to run if millions of Americans cast votes for her and she appeared to be on the way to winning the nomination?

While Shane Warne will probably be named Test player of the year, and Brett Lee and Mike Hussey can expect to fight for the one-day player award, Ricky should earn enough votes to take home the AB Medal and become the first man to win it twice. And there couldn't be a more deserving winner this year.

Who wins by having two sports out in London? The fact that two spots remain open justifies a repeat of the vote. If we had lost by 20 votes or new sports came in, then we wouldn't be trying this.

Those who said they didn't want anybody with a professional education background didn't have the votes to make their favorite person a finalist.

We will divide the four questions into separate votes and barring any parliamentary antics, it should be completed Thursday evening or perhaps Friday morning,

We would be extraordinarily disappointed in any senator who votes for John Roberts or any other nominee who would turn back the clock on fundamental rights and liberties, ... That's the kind of vote that would never be forgotten.

We would basically be dropping one council position. Most of the other cities in the county have a mayor who votes on issues.

There certainly wouldn't be any votes cast accidentally for Pat Buchanan on our system.

We're overwhelmed by it. It was more votes than we expected.

Why have 90 votes melted away in the last two weeks?

Why does he spend like a drunken sailor? ... Our votes are not for sale! The people of this city are too smart, too ethical.
