The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““The way for an elector to signify his favor for a candidate for office, or for a proposition to be voted on, is to cast a ballot for him or for it. . . . He may be bound in some cases by the action of the majority by failing to dissent from it, but not where the law, in order to bind him, requires the expressed assent of a majority of the whole of an ascertainable number, which is the case under the law we are considering.” (pp. 239, 240.)”
