Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.

G. K. Chesterton

Votes against him probably only look political. There's not enough distance between Democrats and charges of obstructionism on judicial nominees that should make them comfortable. It wouldn't take a whole lot for Republicans to dredge that issue up again and make it stick.

Jennifer Duffy

He's popular, but he's a Republican representing a Blue State. People are going to have to decide if they want a Republican who often votes with the Democrats, or a real Democrat.

Darrell West

We hope that as we process the votes, you will all wait for the outcome of this election with a spirit of unity, and that we all guard the peace we have enjoyed throughout this process.

Alan Doss

I love that boy. He works like a dog, he knows how to count votes, he does his homework and he's smarter than anybody knows.

Rep. Dolores Crow

Florida is one example of how partisan politics interfere with having folks' votes being counted accurately. Americans have taken elections for granted for far too long.

Ion Sancho

Basically there are 25,000 registered voters in the district, about 4,000 will vote in this election, and whoever gets 2,000 votes will win. Can someone who's been on TV get 2,000 votes? We'll see. Am I worried? No.

Michael Moskowitz

On the basis of this advice of counsel, Mr. Duncan has authorized Sullivan & Cromwell to advise the Committee that he will rely on his constitutional right not to testify at the January 24 hearing. Mr. Duncan will testify on Jan. 24 if the Committee votes to grant him immunity.

Robert Giuffra

Any time you have an opportunity to cast your votes, you should do so.

Steve Hines

This is the year. We continue to see the trend that he has in his votes. He doesn't reflect our family values, the people in our district or the direction our country should be going.

Heath Shuler

We are asking people to split their votes, one for me and one for Don. Because we're equal. We're nice to each other.

Rosa Elkins

Gap has to know that it can't spend its way to success. The marketing message may be good, but if they can't get their product right, it won't help. The consumer ultimately votes with the wallet.

Todd Slater

Our editors awarded Resident Evil 4 with our top honors in December, and it seems our audience couldn't have agreed more. The game beat out its closest runner-up by nearly four votes to one.

Greg Kasavin

Mr Rene Garcia Preval is credited with 51.15 per cent of the votes based on 96 per cent of voting stations counted, and is declared the winner.

Max Mathurin

One cardinal told me while he was listening to the votes being counted, he said three rosaries. And I said two, and the third said, 'Well I prayed mine with greater piety, and it was just one.' .

William Keeler

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

Curtis Crews

This vote today in committee means that Judge Roberts will be voted on on the Senate floor next week, possibly on Thursday, and he is all but certain to be approved by a majority larger than 60 votes.

Gloria Borger

There is a tiny chance that we will have a second round, but I fear Preval has made a clean sweep of the votes.

Leslie Manigat

The members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles are fully aware of the responsibility we have in rendering our votes as part of the executive clemency review process. I can say, unequivocally, that the board's decision not to recommend clemency was reached after a complete and unbiased review of the petition and evidence submitted.

Gerald Garrett

The non-Cameron camp did command 106 votes against David Cameron's 90. It's not a shoo-in and I think this debate is actually what we need. It is what David Cameron needs. What we have now seen is that we have a man who can conduct himself in a fluent manner, who has ideas, who can withstand some pretty virulent attacks in the press. That is a quality one should not downplay.

Gerald Howarth

As a Republican, I voted with President Clinton consistently in our efforts to bail out our European friends in Kosovo to stop genocide. I am proud of those votes. I am proud of President Clinton for that.

Gordon Smith

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.

Susan Hansen

This has been a partisan process on the part of the House managers. In the House, they had the votes. They didn't think they needed to talk to witnesses.

David Kendall

We in opposition are not prepared to allow this government to legislate its way to more votes or more seats or power than the people chose to give it.

Kelly Lamrock

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.

Francis Escudero

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

Mason Morfit

The governor personally came here, assigned a dozen staff members to work the hall like it was a political convention and it squeaked by with 11 votes. Unless they're going to assign a dozen staff to every voter in California, I don't think Prop. 76 is sailing very high right now.

Alex Padilla

With less than half the population, to have 80 percent of the votes cast in 2002 _ clearly that's a significant number.

Greg Rigamer

Across the board there are disappointments. The stakes remain high, there are still many 5-4 votes, but he has been successful keeping the individual battles from turning into larger wars.

Tom Goldstein

The $864 billion Republican tax cut is a destructive plan that will eat the surplus alive and suck the VA dry. They are trading veterans for votes and it is shameful.

Lane Evans

In democracy it's your vote that counts; In feudalism it's your count that votes.

Mogens Jallberg

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.

Richard Garnett

We are really appealing to people who are strongly against the war; that is a really strong issue for us. The theme of our campaign is 'A Million Votes for Peace,' and this is a chance for activists to really get to vote and speak out against the war.

Forrest Hill

The two previous Republican contesters got the same percentage of votes. I thought that I might do at least 20 percent or better. But it seems that there is a consistent base that is content with Sam Johnson.

Bob Johnson

Very, very disappointed with the governor's decision. I am going to contact the senator's office and the assemblyman's office and see if there are enough votes out there to override the veto.

John Burns

I don't think there is an anti-war movement, ... What Republicans have to be concerned about is if this frustration turns out to be the fulcrum for votes. That could spell some punishment for Republicans.

Tony Fabrizio

You can't go around telling people that you stand for peace when you have hatred and anger inside yourself. If everyone votes for what they really believe, that's all I ask.

Michael Berg

I'll be darned -- one contest has too many votes.

Matt Keefe

It could be within 200 votes, which is amazing.

Scott Hart

The consumer, so it is said, is the king... each is a voter who uses his money as votes to get the things done that he wants done.

Paul A. Samuelson

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

John Coates

There's a tradition in politics of asking young people for their votes and time without asking people for their opinions and ideas.

Josh Greenberg

The passion for office among members of Congress is very great, if not absolutely disreputable, and greatly embarrasses the operations of the Government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves.

James Polk

Right now we got the votes for an override.

Sen Dave Zien

This (sleaze) is far more dangerous to Blair than whether or not he had to rely on Conservative votes for the education bill. It's too close to him.

John Curtice

It is all based on votes now. The more people we can get to vote for Will, the better. Honestly, finally it has gotten to the point where votes are counting more than ever. We want to make sure everyone knows what a great job he is doing.

Sara Robinson

Don't you think a hacker would go after the billions of dollars moving through brokerage houses rather than trying to steal votes?

Joe Mohen

Any time you're the conference champion, you get probably more votes for your players. As it should be.

Ben Howland

Ninety-five percent of the votes are 5-0.

Reo Hatfield

The best we can ever hope for is to win enough votes in the Palestinian parliament, allowing us to have a minister or two in the government so that we can have our say in the way things are run, particularly in matters of importance to us. In short, we want to become in the Palestinian government what the Orthodox Jews are in the Israeli government.

Osama Hamdan

We've decided to reject the two new commissioners who have been appointed to execute the government's ploy to rig votes in the next general election.

Abdul Jalil

Take my word for it as the whip in the House that we have plenty of votes to re-elect Newt Gingrich, ... Late Edition.

Tom Delay

From votes counted across the country, the 'Yes' has 78.47 percent and the 'No' has 21.03 percent.

Apollinaire Malu Malu

It just dilutes the votes of minority voters because they don't have as much access to the Internet. The more popular this is, the worse it is from our perspective.

Deborah Phillips

It's the politics of the Liberal party that they seem to get away with this kind of thing in Ontario and to some degree in Quebec. He'll likely form another government. Whether it's a minority or a majority, I don't know. But certainly he'll get votes out of Ontario.

Ralph Klein

There's an old store of Conservative votes in Quebec that have been silenced in recent years because of the near-disappearance of the party.

Pierre Martin

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.

Charles Ward

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.' .

Andy Curtin

But we cannot do anything until the City Council votes for the tax, ... By law, we cannot collect any signatures until that is done, and then we have 60 days.

Phillip Brown

How the Democrats handle themselves will have an impact on how they're remembered by their constituents. I think certainly constituents remembered how some of their senators voted on the Clarence Thomas confirmation and punished some of them for their votes.

Nan Aron

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.

Mike Hoffman

There's probably a 10-page spec sheet. So we go through all the requirements, and then start designing a couple of weeks into the year. We have each kid design a different concept, and then the class votes on the concept we like best.

Steve Troyer

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.

David Gallitto

We see Oscar time as a huge opportunity to provide consumers with yet another opportunity to cast their votes before they see the official winner on television.

Craig Kornblau

People tried to dismiss my candidacy when I ran for the United States Senate against an incumbent in 1992, and I had little money... And so I believe that so long as we have enough to keep going, to keep our operation going, to get to the point that people -- the people can speak, not just the money. The money primary is one thing, but the people's votes in the end will determine who wins.

Carol Moseley Braun

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.'

Carlos Watson

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.

Frances Johnson

There were many tie votes in the Texas House in 2005 on critical education bills, so a new Austin legislator could be the tiebreaker. We need a lawmaker who will consistently be on the side of public school parents and PTA leaders. Austin's new leader should have the courage to stand with parents and not succumb to pressure by power brokers promoting ideological education agendas.

Carolyn Boyle

This is a great moment for working families of Maryland and for businesses that do the right thing. After the House votes, this measure will sweep the country.

Vincent Demarco

The special votes did not improve National's chances of forming the next government, indeed they made those prospects slightly worse by having one seat fewer in parliament than was true on the election night.

Don Brash

They're trying to woo black votes to the Republican Party, ... It's turning African-Americans off. Now everybody sees the arrogance and the hypocrisy of this administration. This is nothing personal. It's his policies -- in direct opposition to what Dr. King lived and died for.

Tim Mcdonald

This means retailers can get the stuff onto shelves soon, if everyone votes the right way tomorrow.

Alisdair Gray

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.

Al Scates

I'd like to congratulate the ones who have won and I'd like to do what I can to support my city council. They will probably hear from me later on. This is my first time running and I'm satisfied with the votes I got. I did a lot better than I thought I would.

Paul Niemann

We've got the votes, we've won.

James Moran

There are a number of mentions … and examples of intimidation in southern claims. There is a voting poll where three names who voted [not to secede] were crossed out, the votes changed to yes with a note 'vote changed by request of voter,'.

Brian Conley

He will not have the votes on the board to demolish the building.

Michael Moran

Only votes talk, everything else walks.

Dan Rather

In terms of votes, the populations that are most affected by desertification may not be the most important ones. With a few exceptions, the authorities, including at the state level, show little interest in this struggle.

Yakubu Dalhat

This is the beginning of the process. There will be a lot of votes and we are confident that at the end of the day we will have a package that significantly reflects the president's priorities and focus.

Claire Buchan

One or two intermediaries approached us and suggested they could influence the votes. We turned them down. We certainly didn't set out to influence people other than give them a pot of Cape gooseberry jam.

Chris Ball

I don't think this chicken-little approach by higher education is going to win them any votes for the tax increase.

Jon Caldara

If we get the votes that we want, the difference will be 183. In that case, getting 20 votes back is not going to save them.

Walter Braswell

Every Haitian here is supporting 10 people back on the island, and that's 10 votes.

Quetel Osterval

And they don't need Florida's votes in the next election either. I cannot underestimate the importance of that. They want to lease millions of acres off Florida's coast.

Mark Ferrulo

I regret it very much that this has come to us so late and I also regret it in the sense that it's a law in South Africa and we don't always change laws overnight in that manner. The special votes are not only affecting them - they're affecting other sectors in society.

Brigalia Bam

Mount Vernon has over 1,000 registered voters. And the votes at town meeting usually brings out 65 to 75 people on average. Sometimes at the beginning there may be 80 or 85 people but by the time 31/2 hours has gone by, there's only about 45 to 50 people voting.

Bruce Inch

They're very solid. They had a lot of first-place votes this week. We know they are for real.

Al Scates

The key requirement is that any plan that passes this commission has to pass by ten votes, so you're going to have to have consensus among all these members of the commission for a plan to pass.

Ben Wilcox

I couldn't count eight votes. I needed eight votes so I withdrew it.

Rep. Richard Machek

It was mainly 16- and 17-year-olds, and they were so excited. That might have gotten us the extra votes to win.

Niambi Rowland

She's registering to vote, ... It will be the first time she votes and she said she wants to be the first person to sign my papers.

Michael Kelleher

Given that it's an election year, some of the votes that we thought we had suddenly aren't there anymore.

Chuck Kalogianis

We have seen an average of 5,000 votes come in after the first count.

Kathryn Reith

The volunteer task forces were a major phenomenon in this campaign. Having found that the official task force had members who were also candidates who had to look for their own votes, these groups emerged in different regions and for different purposes specific to those areas.

Ofwono Opondo

The public votes with their wallets and this is an affirmation that funny is money.

Chuck Viane

The result was very close in both cases, with a difference of only one or two votes. I think we and softball deserve another chance.

Aldo Notari

I don't see them as an obstacle. I see them as a plus, ... I know that can change. And he doesn't always prevail. You've got to get 23 votes, and Mr. Tagliabue doesn't vote.

Red Mccombs

There could be all kinds of vote rigging in those constituencies, from buying votes to getting government officials to fabricate the results.

Somchai Srisuthiyakorn

One of the problems was the actual votes. They are going to have an election, but 75 percent of the population in New Orleans relocated, and the government is not making any efforts to get those people to go.

Samantha Traub

Decided by illegal votes.

Susan Molinari

The voting system used by almost every major urban county was based on 1970s technology and that led to a large number of errors made by voters on election day that effectively negated thousands of votes.

Pam Iorio

It's disappointing but not at all surprising. On key votes, Senator Chafee sides with the liberal special interests.

Steve Laffey

Voters thought he's verbose, but he was crisp and on message - a lot of people who hadn't focused on Kerry suddenly were. The whole race was transformed. ... That debate really got a lot of people [to rethink their votes], and it was reflected in the polls.

Alec Lamis

The budget at this point for next year looks great. We just have to make sure that Congress supports it. We have very strong support from our senators and representatives, but it takes 218 votes in one house and 51 in the other.

Peter Bond

Coach Bryant told us the fact that we didn't have any votes on the East Coast was his fault. We didn't have the integration of other teams.

Jim Fuller

I don't know that you have the votes here today.

Jeff Denham

If we can, we'll just leave in the legitimate votes.

Mark Gerth

If the Legislature goes ahead with what the governor has recommended, then we will be a state in which the voting public can be confident that the results of the election are going to be verifiably accurate and that their votes can be counted properly.

John Boyd

Although we were able to gain votes, we have always anticipated the legislature would ultimately pass the ban. That's why Action Wisconsin and Center Advocates have focused on educating tens of thousands of voters for the past 600 days. As the official statewide campaign, Fair Wisconsin will build off that foundation and run a serious campaign to win in November.

Mike Tate

This precinct, being a large precinct, is below average but that's more than I expected, ... My guess is we might get 200-250 votes based on the rate we are going now. I hope we beat that.

John Knott

Either way, it comes down to just 3,000 votes out of approximately 1,360,000 votes cast, ... That's just two-tenths of 1 percent of the total vote cast in this election. Such a small margin would have already triggered a recount in 12 states.

Don Siegelman

In some polling stations, blank ballots totaled a quarter of the votes, and in some others, one third of the votes.

Max Mathurin

My husband got in five votes on the phone. I got one on the Internet.

John O'hurley

Cheating. If that's what you need to get votes, that just tells me they're in desperate straits.

Sen. Nancy Argenziano

If the Charter is interpreted that it takes five votes to annually adjust the City Manager's compensation, this interpretation empowers three members of the City Commission to allow the City Manager to deem himself terminated and results in substantial cost to the citizens.

John Hubbard

The people who cast the votes do not decide an election, the people who count the votes do.

Joseph Stalin

I think it is a great thing that both Democrats and Republicans are going to compete for our votes.

Melvin Watt

My hopes are quite high that there will be a large number of votes for this resolution.

Jeremy Greenstock

Our bid is based on integrity, and whoever is fortunate enough to win should have the confidence that they have secured at least 50 per cent of the votes.

Chris Moller

After three decades of war, and now we are coming with the votes of the people backing us, it is a big day.

Shukria Barakzai

O'Malley will get a lot of votes here largely because of concerns about how cozy Doug Duncan is with the development industry.

Phil Andrews

It's hard to get write-in votes, so even if they only add 1,000 votes to Carr with this, it's worth it.

William Binning

Hood River is the portion of that district that tends to vote more Democratic. It's the rest that consistently votes Republican. So somebody that wins already in the Hood River area puts us in a good position.

Fredrick Thomas

It's a close relation. In the regions, where they had the votes, they are regions in which they were the only ones who could campaign.

Mauricio Romero

You could sit there and watch 200 votes appear over the course of a couple of minutes, obviously going a little too fast.

Mark Gerth

To date no one has given me a logical explanation of where those votes came from. I certainly would welcome the opportunity to lay it all out.

Randy Farkas

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.

Julia Gillard

There's very, very little that this state legislature does that can't wait a couple of days. I don't think it's really too much to ask to have legislators participate in the debate and cast their own votes.

Barry Kauffman

But we certainly have encouraged the leadership in Congress to schedule votes on the amendment to be sure every senator and representative will be on record on this amendment before they face the voters in November.

Peter Sprigg

Even if a party doesn't win a single ward, it would win representation in proportion to its total ward and proportional votes.

Willie Spies

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

Alan Williamson

[Being a U.S. senator] is more than just casting votes on the issues you are presented with, ... It's about coming up with new ideas, it's about leadership, it's about persuasion. It's about getting 51 votes on initiatives that are going to solve problems.

Matt Brown

They took a page out of President Clinton's strategy -- legislative strategy -- which is to break things up into bite-size morsels -- that the public readily supports and understands, and get votes on it. And when its a 70 percent supported issue its hard for the Democrats to oppose it.

Glen Bolger

There is a California we can live in where teachers are paid more than prison guards, ... where the power stays on while the power of political money is turned off. Now is the time to think outside the box before we put our votes inside it.

Arianna Huffington

We had a larger pool of candidates that all were qualified uniquely in their own way. It was a very respectful public process. The fact that Mr. Ramirez got six votes was good but what really drove the point home is that nobody else got more than three. It made it clear that the council was all together on this.

Austin Adams

Everything that Nunez does between now and November should be put into the perspective of turning out votes in the special election.

Karen Hanretty

Last year was politically interesting for the Swiss abroad, with two votes on bilateral accords with EU, and this certainly played a role.

Marc Demierre

I'm not going to make any predictions. I'm just gonna have confidence that the people in this city have watched what I've been doing for the past 12 years and their votes will reflect that.

Jerry Jennings

The leadership on this board has used up two years and held two votes at a considerable cost to the taxpayers. It is now time for them to step aside and allow the community to develop a plan to fix our school.

John Flora

I'm one of those who like to have a North American presence on the board. It's a pity two candidates are coming from the same country. There's a risk they'll split the votes. That would be unfortunate.

Kevan Gosper

We were hoping for six (votes), we were really hoping for five, and seven, seven, that tells (the Department of Defense) and Navy a big story: they were wrong.

Paul O'connor

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

Jim Adler

I think it's going to be close, ... Two-thirds, though, is a lot of votes. I wouldn't say I'm confident by any stretch of the imagination. I do feel like it has a lot of support statewide.

John Proctor

If he doesn't win votes from the left and center, he won't win it on the PAN base alone.

Jorge Chabat

Clearly our city is less than half the size it was previously ? maybe 200,000 people. Yet we had 80 percent of the votes cast in 2002. Think about that.

Greg Rigamer

The story is totally irrelevant, the voting was conducted in a secret ballot under the rules of the IOC, absolutely properly, all votes were properly recorded.

Craig Reedie

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.

Walter Braswell

All the votes on the paper trail are correct. All the votes inside the machines are correct. It will just not recognize them when it's time to tabulate the results.

Ben Beakes

Justice Thomas, my old boss, got 52 votes. Justice (Antonin) Scalia got 98 votes, ... But Justice Thomas is no less a justice than Justice Scalia. They have the same vote on the court.

Wendy Long

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

Dean Johnson

In a proxy contest this close, where stockholders are changing their votes right up until the closing of the polls, it is simply impossible to determine the outcome at this time.

Walter Hewlett

If Island Heights votes to join us in the study, it will join us in the potential tax savings. If they don't, and we pursue withdrawal, it could cost Island Heights taxpayers even more money to send children to Central Regional.

David Meyer

I don't believe there has been fraud. It's frustrating to me as a voter. This entire process is about trying to suppress votes.

Amy Weinsheim

Who votes will determine who runs.

Wayne Parent

There's a lingering perception among African American voters that the Republican Party is not interested in cultivating their votes, especially now that Hurricane Katrina, race and the Republican Party has been injected into the discussion. But this [slow government response] was not racially driven.

Alvin Williams

A second round is definite. One can read in between the lines that none of them will be able to obtain the required votes to win outright.

Frances Johnson

[Saying he didn't] particularly relish raining on their parade, ... perhaps uncomfortable votes -- on a range of issues relating to China.

Jesse Helms

We believe it's being blown out of proportion. We weren't trying to buy votes.

George Stone

He's very good at giving the appearance that he's listening closely to what you're saying. In the end, his votes have fallen along the conservative party line.

Roger Singer

They've spent a week trying to exclude the votes of men and women in uniform, police, fire, nurses, doctors. Now, their newfound dedication to the counting of ballots, though welcome, seems a little off.

Ron Klain

The lower court must now confront the real merits of this case ... that there is no constitutional justification for prohibiting grass-roots lobbying about upcoming votes in Congress, just because we are in an election season.

James Bopp

If Bush gets more than 60 votes he'll feel emboldened to nominate a movement conservative.

Doug Schoen

To make up this many votes is probably very difficult. I'll see how I feel in a week.

Richard Rossi

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.

John Coates

We're going to concentrate on the areas that we were a little low on (votes) today, ... I just appreciate the folks who supported me all along, and I appreciate their continued support for the next three weeks.

Jim Snyder

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.

Sen. Jean Schodorf

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

Sean Tipton

Mr. Duncan will testify on Jan. 24 if the Committee votes to grant him immunity.

Robert Giuffra

After the election, it was a humbling experience to learn that I had the most votes. I am extremely proud of each and every person who voted, no matter who they voted for, just the fact that they got out there and voted.

Peggy Dunn

We're not getting many landslides these days, so it's crucial that the votes be counted accurately.

Will Doherty

AFRICAN, n. A nigger that votes our way.

Ambrose Bierce

The first question is (having) enough votes to win defeat. It's also important that the filibuster remain as an option on the table. The filibuster is there for a reason.

Marcia Greenberger

[King, who has lived in Idaho for 28 years, said she is proud of rural Custer County and noted that she still votes by paper ballot in the nearby town of Clayton. A sign near her house says] Welcome to Challis, Gateway to Wilderness. ... It does not say 'Gateway to Off-Road Vehicle Trails.'

Carole King

We are waiting for those final 10,000 votes to be counted. Then we'll see if a recount is necessary.

Stan Devereux

In my opinion, the next council member should be Fran Black Holland. She had the next-highest votes. She worked hard in her campaign. She deserves it. The voters have chosen. How can the Kannapolis City Council deny her?

Harold Smith

There's a lot of human characteristics about him that will soften him on some of the issues involving the common man. He'll have his share of votes where he'll agonize over voting with the Republican line.

Richard Chesteen

It's like any proxy fight -- the first thing you try to decide is who votes.

David Pollock

He's never been a champion of immigrant rights. But he may come around now because of the campaign. If he wins over the migrants, that popularity could pull a lot of votes in Mexico.

Felipe Aguirre

I Don't Care How Many Votes I Get.

David W. Cobb

Our Ukraine has agreed on the position that the force that gets the most votes... will propose its candidacy for the prime minister's post.

Roman Bezsmertnyi

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

Josh Wilson

I think he probably picked up a good three percent of the votes and probably cements his [win] if they hold another election against Hoffa.

Stephen Klein

It's really an open issue. I feel at the moment, it's 10 to 10 votes.

Ferdinand Piech

They have collected protest votes, and the votes of people who normally don't vote.

Uwe Andersen

A majority would be for guilty but quite a few would be for not guilty on the first votes on each of the counts.

Steve Struss

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.

Jesse Helms

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

Joseph Stalin

The bottom line is that the deal has improved for the city's side. I remain confident we have struck a deal that will get the seven votes we need.

William Hall

We have the votes to pass the House.

John Mica

We need a change in economic policy and the FDP is most likely to deliver that change, that's why we want the FDP to get as many votes as possible. A grand coalition is the wrong answer to the problems we're facing.

Anton Boerner

These were sold as safe systems. They passed tests as safe systems. But?there is a way to rig an election. It's not a bunch of guys stuffing ballots in a precinct. It's possibly one person acting in secret changing thousands of votes in a second.

Ion Sancho

Sometimes my conscience tells me to vote against a certain policy or program, and I do, and everyone else votes for it and it passes. I'm going to work just as hard to make sure it's successful as I would had I approved it.

George Hughes

I ask for a statewide recount of every vote in this election -- a recount of every vote in every precinct, of every vote in every county, ... Let's recount all of the votes and discover once and for all who was the legitimate winner of Tuesday's election.

Don Siegelman

The low turnout has a lot to do with the fact that people were intimidated. People are not sure if they will be protected after they have gone to cast their votes.

Seabo Gaeganelwe

Everyone here has a very open mind. There were three people who put down a swimming pool, but it got no votes. That tells me we're willing to concede to better ideas.

Jeff Knight

It is a clear conflict of interest for Rep. Rush to weigh in on this bill. People can disagree about where to draw the line on contributions and abstaining from votes, but $1 million is definitely over that line.

Sheila Krumholz

There's speculation out there that more policy makers will cast votes against keeping the policy unchanged. That is negative for bonds.

Naomi Hasegawa

They boycotted the last elections and now they are trying to register their votes and get more participation inside the new political process. Those who are 'wrong' always discover their error sooner or later.

Humam Hamoudi

If Parliament votes the cuts, it will be a message that they think La Scala isn't important, that film isn't important.
