I want to live in a country where my vote counts for something.

So you are all saying my vote counts for something?

But too many Americans already feel as though their votes don't count.

Each vote counts as one towards the total for the candidate they have put their mark against.

Al Gore wouldn't say he wants a recount because every vote should count.

"All this makes me feel that my vote counts if we elect the right people to office."

Local democracy will revive only when people believe their vote actually counts for something.

For once, I feel as if my vote counted!

Then you say your vote doesn't count, so you stay home.

"Maybe if enough people's votes had counted, the election might have turned out differently."
