Text Quotes
What has become clear to many Americans is that the electoral system is bankrupt. As the political process becomes more privatized, outsourced, and overrun with money from corporations and billionaires, a wounded republic is on its death bed, gasping for life.  (Electoral Quotes) The great disadvantage of our present electoral system is that it freezes the pattern of politics, and holds together the incompatible because everyone assumes that if a party splits it will be electorally slaughtered.  (Electoral Quotes) It’s one of the reasons [professional politicians] why people’s confidence in the electoral system has declined so much. They have all become shadowy political creatures  (Electoral Quotes) Many militarists would like to see California’s votes vanish from the national electoral system, which would then become more Republican.  (Electoral Quotes) I ask the GOP leaders also to stand up for the integrity of the American electoral process  (Electoral Quotes) Although individual states have primary responsibility for conducting fair and impartial elections, the FBI becomes involved when paramount federal interests are affected or electoral abuse occurs.  (Electoral Quotes) The way to lessen the grip of the Tea Party on the electoral process would be to do what a handful have done and have a primary where all voters, members of every party, can vote, and the top two vote-getters then enter a runoff.  (Electoral Quotes) Let’s not give the electoral process so much importance. We have to be cynical about it. Let’s give importance to the real democracy that’s constructed on a day-to-day basis. That’s my hopeful perspective on it.  (Electoral Quotes) Every democracy is constructed day-to-day. And the electoral process reduces and minimalizes every single aspect of human complexity. We’re putting it into pamphlets. We’re doing a publicity show. We’re becoming symbols.  (Electoral Quotes) Donald Trump wasn’t vying for the popular vote. He was vying for the Electoral College, as was Hillary Clinton. The only difference is he got over 300 electoral votes, and she did not.  (Electoral Quotes) Fed and electoral college could use some tinkering, but they are not the source of the problems  (Electoral Quotes) I never stop running. I’m not one of the weenies who drop out just because the electoral college votes. I’m still in the race. I’m an extremely corrupt candidate and I stress that in case anybody in our reading audience is interested in sending me money.  (Electoral Quotes) Even without voting, illegal aliens do affect who gets elected president, and that’s since the Electoral College elects the president, and the states are given 80% of their electoral votes based on their population, whether they include illegals or not, is the assessment that that is how they affect elections.  (Electoral Quotes) While Donald Trump is showing some strength in places like Iowa, it’s just not enough to get him close to getting the electoral votes that he needs to win.  (Electoral Quotes) Democrats came into the race with a structural advantage in the Electoral College. Their big blue wall - the states that Democrats have won in the past six presidential elections - gave [Hillary] Clinton a strong base to build on.  (Electoral Quotes) The primary purpose of the Electoral College is to maintain the power of the states and to support the idea that the election is decided by the states. It’s not decided by the general population, and it never was.  (Electoral Quotes) My understanding of the Electoral College is that they have the right to vote for who they want. So they should vote their conscience, and if their conscience leads them that way, they should follow their conscience.  (Electoral Quotes) I do believe there needs to be an investigation of the intelligence community’s findings, classified findings, in order to ensure the electoral integrity of our system moving forward.  (Electoral Quotes) Governments produced by the most banal of electoral victories, like those produced by the crudest of coups d’état, will always feel obliged to dress themselves up linguistically in some way  (Electoral Quotes) Electoral turnout is falling among the young, and political apathy is on the rise  (Electoral Quotes) The state of law is equal for all people. It cannot depend on electoral politics  (Electoral Quotes) Fight for our rightful voice, or we can continue to... Slap one another and one day find ourselves without the electoral base to sustain the voice we already have  (Electoral Quotes) The two party electoral system performs the essential function of helping to legitimate the existing social order  (Electoral Quotes) I’m not ready to give you a clear answer on whether electoral politics holds any particular hope for progressives. It would mean that nothing I did ever mattered  (Electoral Quotes) Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system  (Electoral Quotes) The root of democracy is in mass education. This foundation becomes stronger, when the citizens of tomorrow, our children are also educated about the electoral process  (Electoral Quotes) The debates are part of the unconscionable fraud that our political campaigns have become a format that defies meaningful discourse. They should be charged with sabotaging the electoral process  (Electoral Quotes) We’re building an independent political program that can run electoral politics and then turn on a dime to hold our leaders to task, in case they suddenly develop that old case of amnesia! We’ll be there to remind them what they promised and who they promised to work for!  (Electoral Quotes) Despite its flaws, the American electoral system has produced Lincoln, the two Roosevelts, and Harry Truman  (Electoral Quotes) Young voters are crucial. The trend over recent years has been for them to drift away. So anything that gets young voters interested in the electoral process not only has an immediate effect, but has an effect for years and years  (Electoral Quotes)
