Abstract

“Yes, we can!” – Barack Obama’s campaign slogan inspired enough of his supporters to go to the polls and give him their “yes” votes that he won the 2008 U.S. presidential election. And this happened notwithstanding the fact that many other voters said “no” when pollsters asked if they viewed Barack Obama as qualified for the office. “Yes” and “no” are perhaps the most basic ways for us, as voters, to express our preferences about candidates, and “yes” and “no” are what approval voting is all about.
