Well, with apologies to no one, Alan, I've translated your code scrap. 
Actually there's no telling what 'DEMOCRAT' and 'REPUBLICAN' are -- 
since they are capitalized, presumably there's a #define somewhere that 
covers 'em. But as Larry says, assuming they aren't both 1, your 
expression always evaluates to true. To wit:

function dem { if [ $1 = 'democrat' ] ; then echo 1 ; else echo 0 ; fi }

function rep { if [ $1 = 'republican' ] ; then echo 1 ; else echo 0 ; fi }

for voter in democrat republican libertarian green ; do
# test clause, uncomment to use:
#  echo $voter " Democrat= " `dem $voter` " Republican= " `rep $voter` ;
   if [[ ( 1 != `rep $voter` ) || ( 1 != `dem $voter` ) ]] ; then
     echo "Dimpled chad, must be a vote for me" ;
   fi ;
done

Go ahead and run it, and let us know what you get ;)
