In 1998, 36.4 percent of voters went to the polls to cast their ballots. That's the lowest voter turnout since 1942! Two out of three Americans, 1.15 million eligible voters, simply stayed home and didn't vote at all. Many people explain their failure to vote by saying: 'I'm just one person. My little old vote doesn't make a difference.'

There's a lot of historical evidence to the contrary.

In 1999, Leslie Byrne was elected to the Virginia Senate by 37 votes, less than one vote per precinct.

Donald Sherwood was elected to the House of representatives from Pennsylvania by a margin of 515 votes, less than one vote per precinct, making this election the closest House of Representatives race in 1998.

Loretta Sanchez was elected to Congress from California by less than 4 votes per precinct in 1996.

John F. Kennedy's margin of victory over Richard Nixon in 1960 was less than one vote per precinct.

Just one vote per precinct passed woman suffrage in California in 1911.
