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.

Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans. It's a shame such a hard-fought election has to come down to something like this.

According to the U.S. Census, the most common reason people give for not voting is that they were too busy or had conflicting work or school schedules.

People aren't necessarily as concerned with how you vote as long as they feel they have a voice. If you can cross that basic threshold - that is, when a voter knows you're willing to listen to them and that you care about their lives - then that's most of what you need to get their vote. It's not your voting record.

Elections aren't just about who votes but who doesn't vote.

I'm not someone who believes in wasting my vote.

I always preach that you have to be active as a citizen no matter what, and some people just voting as an excuse not to do anything.

In politics, you have to understand that there are some cases where you'll never be able to get votes.

We have no basis for having a recall of any particular type of voting equipment because there are no standards. And when we do have standards, even these standards are required to be voluntary.

I can't imagine anybody not wanting to make sure that noncitizens don't dilute legitimate U.S. citizens' vote.
