Some Ways that ONE vote has changed the course of history. One vote made Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England in 1645 One vote caused Charles I to be executed in 1649 One vote elected Thomas Jefferson president in 1800 One vote made Texas part of the U>S. in 1845 One vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment in 1868 One vote changed France from a monarchy to a Republic in 1875 And average on only one vote per precinct passed women's suffrage in California in 1911 Less than one vote per precinct, in one state elected Wooodrow Wilson President in 1912 One vote made Tennessee the 36th state to ratify the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1920. One vote made Adolph Hitler heard of the Nazi party in 1923. *A change of one vote per precinct in three states 1968 would have made Hubert Humphrey president instead of Richard Nixon.
