THINK YOUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER? CONSIDER THIS...
In 1801, one vote in the U.S. House broke the tie between presidential candidates Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
In 1839, one vote made Marcus Morton governor of Massachussettes and earned him the nickname, "Landslide."
In 1868, one vote saved President Andrew Jackson from being removed from office
In 1876, one vote in the Electoral College gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency.
In 1941, one vote extended the active service provision in the Selective Service Act (Draft) just four months before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
In 2000, we had one of the most closely contested presidential elections in American History, and people are still arguing about who won.
