• In 1649, one vote caused Charles 1 of England to be executed.
• In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German.
• In 1839, one vote elected Marcus Morton as Governor of the State of Massachusetts.
• In 1845, one vote brought the State of Texas into the Union.
• In 1868, one vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment.
• In 1876 one votegave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency of the United States
• In 1876, one vote changed France from a Monarchy to a Republic
