Secret Ballot Voting

Famous quotes containing the words secret, ballot and/or voting:

    Consciousness never deceives.... We learn the influence of our will from experience alone. And experience only teaches us, how one event constantly follows another; without instructing us in the secret connexion, which binds them together, and renders them inseparable.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    I do not think the mere extension of the ballot a panacea for all the ills of our national life. What we need to-day is not simply more voters, but better voters.
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

    It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.
    Tom Stoppard (b. 1937)
