Famous quotes containing the words voting and/or record:
“It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.”
—Tom Stoppard (b. 1937)
“The case of Andrews is really a very bad one, as appears by the record already before me. Yet before receiving this I had ordered his punishment commuted to imprisonment ... and had so telegraphed. I did this, not on any merit in the case, but because I am trying to evade the butchering business lately.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
