That's a neat site. It's also got this.
Which also contains this admonition about how every vote counts.
- Does One Vote Count?
When asked why they don’t vote, many Americans say they wonder if their vote really counts.
Consider the following.
* Texas was admitted to the Union in 1845 by one vote.
* Hitler won leadership of the German Nazi Party in 1923 by one vote.
* The US House of Representatives, in 1801, elected Thomas Jefferson as President of the United States by one vote.
* One vote per precinct passed women’s suffrage in California in 1911.
* In 1941, the Selective Service Act (the draft) was saved by one vote just weeks before Pearl Harbor was attacked.
* John F. Kennedy won the presidency by less than one vote per precinct nationwide.
Curious that they didn't post any examples from more recent history. Maybe this site hasn't been updated in a number of years.
