Craig David Quotes

... elections are no longer representative.

Bad government is made in the poling places of this country.

The winner of the elections which saw the participation of almsot 30 million people was the Iranian nation and the losers were those who tried to keep people away from the polls.

When you start talking about elections being rigged, you're pushing people beyond democratic governance. And it's a very, very dangerous thing to do.

We have a problem with our democracy when you have election officials deliberately trying to take away the fundamental right to vote in this country in the 21st century.

I've heard Donald Trump say some pretty unhinged things. I've heard them over and over and over again. But nothing is more dangerous to our democracy than his attacks on mail-in voting in the middle of a pandemic.

America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections.

My publicist told me not to talk about politics but, yes, I think we have a president who stole the election.

The last two elections were stolen. They were stolen and so we will not rest until we reclaim our democracy and this is what today is all about.

People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can't fix.

It seems to me there has been some systematic disenfranchisement of voters … because people haven’t cared enough to spend the money to have good voting systems and voter education.

We find that fraud in election is an old ulcer … it is too old, it is too malignant, to warrant any generous surgery. We have got to cut it out if healthy flesh comes with it. If we do disfranchise now and then an honest elector it is really for his own benefit and the benefit of his own State and county.

If you’ve ever been in politics, I don’t want to vote for you.

Voting in our country has never been easy, and unfortunately, it has never been guaranteed for everyone. But through the work of brave civil rights leaders, some of whom died for the cause, by the early 2000s we were at a point where most, but still not all, people who wanted to vote could do so.

Representative democracy is in crisis in the United States.

American elections have usually turned on the issues of war, peace and the economy.

Here in Maine, we know that the system of special interests influencing elections runs contrary to our democratic values.

As long as there have been elections, there have been attempts to keep eligible people from voting.

Republicans support opening the floodgates to special interest money and suppressing the right to vote. It's just plain wrong.

We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities.

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.

In November 2000, the Republicans stole from America our most precious right of all: the right to free and fair elections... Now President Bush occupies the White House, but with questionable legitimacy.

In Europe and the United States, you've got different systems to select candidates, and no system is perfect.

What George W. Bush learned in his pre-presidential years - and what he omits in his new memoirs - was not how to lead a nation, but how, with sufficient toughness, to cheat the democratic system to get elected.
