Your vote can make a difference. Here are examples of how one vote did make a difference:

• Several of our states, including California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington, became states by just ONE vote.
• In 1948, Lyndon B. Johnson, our 36th president, became a U.S. senator by a ONE vote margin.
• In the 1960 presidential election, ONE additional vote per precinct in Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey and Texas would have denied John F. Kennedy the presidency and put Richard M. Nixon in office eight years earlier.
• In recent years, the outcomes of many state and congressional races have been reversed as recounts have shifted a handful of votes from one candidate to another.

Each and every vote is the voice of a citizen of the United States of America. One voice speaking out can change the course of history.
