If people want to take the time to vote, they should be able to, and their vote should be counted.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every vote counts and every vote must be counted.
As Democrats, we believe in giving every eligible citizen the opportunity to vote - whether it's early because they can't take off work on Election Day or absentee because they might have plans to be out of town.
Vote counting and ballot collecting does not occur in the light of day. There are too many occasions when observers and opposing parties lose contact with the ballots.
Every citizen's vote should count in America, not just the votes of partisan insiders in the Electoral College.
Voting is a right best exercised by people who have taken time to learn about the issues.
Voting shouldn't be a challenge. It should be as easy and accessible as possible. We shouldn't require forms of ID that folks don't have. We shouldn't restrict days or hours that allow working people a chance to both do their job and exercise their democratic right, and we damn well shouldn't be throwing up new obstacles midstream.
If elected members of any body - whether it's a state house or Congress - were not willing to take career-ending or at least election-losing votes, I would not have the right to vote today.
If you don't vote, you don't count.
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
Everybody expects that their vote's going to count.
