Ambrose Bierce on a vote and an elector
In his satirical lexicon The Devil's Dictionary (1911) Ambrose Bierce defined a vote as "The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country." You remember Bierce. He was the fellow who identified an elector as "One who enjoys the sacred privilege of voting for the man of another man's choice." -- Monty Gilmer
