Hi, Everyone,
Yay, or nay?  on this Mark Twain quote?  

 Someone who likes Mark Twain
is circulating the quote (shown below) 
on a graphic poster on Facebook.  
      (When a quotation is part of a graphic poster, 
 a text search of the web...won't notice how often it appears.)

If Mark Twain said the quote below, where did he say it?
Here's the quote:
"If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it."

I imagine some innocent persons thinking, 
"Oh no! If Mark Twain says our country's good faith system
                                          is already gone, it must be true!"

Others may think, "Mark Twain -- what a maroon!"
 I felt that statement is too hard-line.    
 It's one thing to say Congress 
and school boards are criminals and idiots, which, I know, he did say,
in good humor(?)  It's another thing -- more hardline -- to discourage
people from voting.
But, did he say it?
Thanks!
