Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “A distinction of property results from that very protection which a free Government gives to unequal faculties of acquiring it.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
