Famous quotes containing the words legally, cast and/or vote:

    “Rape is a culturally fostered means of suppressing women. Legally we say we deplore it, but mythically we romanticize and perpetuate it, and privately we excuse and overlook it.”
    —Victoria Billings (b. 1945)

    “All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
