Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “In the past, as now, Haiti’s curse has been her politicians. There are still too many men of influence in the country who believe that a national election is a mandate from the people to build themselves a big new house in Petionville and Kenscoff and a trip to Paris.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

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