In 1875, one vote changed France from a monarchy to a republic.

In 1876, one vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the Presidency.

In 1923, one vote gave Adolf Hitler leadership of the Nazi party.

In 1941, one vote saved the Selective Service just weeks before Pearl Harbor was attacked.

ONE VOTE

I am X,

The unknown quantity in each election.

I am the symbol of every free man or woman,

Yet I am discarded by more than half of them

As unimportant.

Only one vote. . .  but I choose presidents:

I elected Thomas Jefferson, John Qunicy Adams and Rutherford B. Hayes.

X was the margin.

It was one vote that California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington

Became a part of our United States.

I have toppled crowns,

Declared wars, and broken treaties.

Used right I have brought

Peace, prosperity and happiness

To free nations.

I am important to you.

I am your secret weapon.

I am available to all, rich or poor.

I am the X that wins elections.

I am your vote.
