ONE VOTE OFTEN MATTERS. .YOU THINK IT DOESN'T?...HERE IS PROOF:

1960 United States presidential election in Illinois[7]
Party Candidate Votes %
Democratic John F. Kennedy 2,377,846 49.98%
....Republican Richard Nixon 2,368,988 49.80%
.....Socialist Labor Eric Hass..... 10,560 0.22
................................Write-in.... 15.. 0.00%
........................Total votes 4,757,409 100%

_______________________________________________________________________________

If less than .10 percent had changed, we would have had Nixon instead of Kennedy. No "Medicare", No progress,
No Right to Vote legislation...no change at all....THAT IS 12,000 VOTES OUT OF 4,740,000 VOTES

So, you don't think one vote counts?...look at the numbers. If all the Social Labor votes would have gone to Nixon,
Kennedy would ..........NOT HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT

, AND YES, ILLINOIS WAS A KEY STATE IN THIS ELECTION, AND ONE VOTE OFTEN MATTERS.

Like has been said, only one vote per district can make such a huge difference in the country. If nothing else, look at Florida when Bush the idiot beat Gore. It was just over 500 votes.
