Text Quotes
Close elections tend to break toward the challenger because undecided voters - having held out so long against the incumbent - are by nature looking for change.  (Elections Quotes) Indeed, when all parties campaign effectively the overall effect is to push up voting rates, as you see in tight marginal seats or close general elections. That must be good for democracy.  (Elections Quotes) We know that the governments in most of the successor states formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union are replaced through a process of regular elections.  (Elections Quotes) Experience shows us that most people’s votes are based on their biases, not on objective reality. Elections are a collective gut reaction. That any good comes of it at all is the miracle of democracy.  (Elections Quotes) I reassure all Nigerians and the international community of our firm commitment to free, fair and credible elections. My commitment to free elections and one man, one vote remains unwavering.  (Elections Quotes) With super PACs, we’ve seen voter turnout go up; interest in elections rise; and the number of competitive races increase. The campaigns of 2010 and 2012 have been more issue-oriented than their predecessors, not less.  (Elections Quotes) How did abortion and birth control impact the congressional race of Dan Maffei and Ann Marie Buerkle or the presidential race between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney? I don’t know. But I think the so-called social issues were front and center in the minds of voters. These issues may indeed have lost the Republicans some elections.  (Elections Quotes) Democracy is one person, one vote and a full discussion of the issues that affect us. Oligarchy is billionaires buying elections, voter suppression and a concentrated corporate media determining what we see, hear and read.  (Elections Quotes) The Muslim Brotherhood and the Salifist parties are a real force in the Egyptian society. No civil, liberal government can succeed, even after new elections, if the Islamists are forced to work underground as a foe and the country remains divided.  (Elections Quotes) Elections are also about the future - the pledges that we are making for this country. For those who care about equality and fairness in the UK, and beyond, Labour really is the only choice.  (Elections Quotes) In 2002, a lot of the pundits didn’t get the off-year elections right. In 2004, a lot of people thought I was going down eight days before the election.  (Elections Quotes) I ask you: turn a deaf ear to the special interests. Let politics stand down for a while. don’t waste anytime thinking about future elections until we’ve done our jobs here.  (Elections Quotes) I think we bring together that broad coalition including Russia to help us destroy ISIS and work on a timetable to get rid of Assad, hopefully through Democratic elections. First priority, destroy ISIS.  (Elections Quotes) For liberalism is a delicate thing. It encompasses so much -- constitutional government, democratic elections, freedom of worship, civil rights, free trade -- that we think of it as timeless and universal. But liberalism came into being in a real place and time, like a flame it has wavered in various eras, and it can be snuffed out.  (Elections Quotes) When Captain Moussa Dadis Camara came to power, too many thought he would hold to his promise to stand down, introduce democratic elections and restore the rule of law.  (Elections Quotes) I think Matt Yglesias is wrong to declare that the world of ‘This Town’ is dying, unless he thinks publicly financed elections, strict lobbying bans and Scandinavian-style wealth distribution are imminent.  (Elections Quotes) I was up late last night yapping about the elections on CNN and up early this morning doing the same thing in my daughter’s kindergarten class.  (Elections Quotes) Maryland first allowed early voting during the 2010 primary elections. In November 2012, more than 16 percent of registered voters in Maryland cast their ballots during the early voting period, and some polling places, particularly in our larger jurisdictions, witnessed early voting lines that were hours long.  (Elections Quotes) Unlike their Western counterparts, Africans take elections very seriously - rising up early to queue patiently in line for hours under the hot sun and cast their ballots. Any misguided attempt to nullify or steal their votes will evoke a strong reaction from them.  (Elections Quotes) Much of what Tea Party candidates claimed about the world and the global economy during the 2010 elections would have earned their adherents a well-deserved F in any freshman economics (or earth science) class.  (Elections Quotes) There’s enormous progressive activism and, more often than not, success at the grassroots level - everything from living wage campaigns to efforts to finance our elections are having terrific success.  (Elections Quotes) I’m convinced that unless you have some public financing of elections, you are never going to remove the power of wealthy interests over elected officials.  (Elections Quotes) I do think that the elections of 2010 and 2012 are going to determine the trajectory of the country. Either we’re going to be aspiring and improving opportunities based on freedom and responsibility, or we’re going to go down the path that dictates and mandates a dependency on government.  (Elections Quotes) America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections.  (Elections Quotes) Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections.  (Elections Quotes) Elections are an enduring spectacle of free India, and have provided foreign journalists with the opportunity to remind the world that India remains the world’s largest democracy.  (Elections Quotes) Though pundits and politicians, weary of the story, are happy to omit facts about voting systems and their private contractors running our public elections, such omissions impair voters and democracy itself.  (Elections Quotes) Democracy is a revelation, but it’s complicated. There are elections to hold, politics to create, rights to assert, grievances to settle and institutions to build. To many, it’s exhilarating. For others, it can be disappointing when it turns out that democracy doesn’t immediately make life better.  (Elections Quotes) India’s national elections are really an aggregate of thirty different state elections, each influenced by its own local considerations, regional political currents, and different patterns of political incumbency.  (Elections Quotes) Elections in India are not contests between personalities. They are ultimately battles involving political parties; promises and pledges that political parties make; the vision and programmes that political parties bring to the table. So although, Modi’s style is ‘I, me, myself,’ I don’t think 2014 elections as a Modi versus Rahul contest.  (Elections Quotes)
