    > Holding a vote had nothing to do with democracy? A vote where radical activists invested in a specific outcome store ballot boxes in their own homes? You got to be joking. > They're politicians. That's sort of their job. That's patently wrong, as they are now doing prison sentences for abusing their position and by violating the laws they were supposed to comply with.

      You can't complain in one sentence about misuse of government resources, then in the next complain that they kept ballots at home. I'm sure they would have loved to keep the ballots in the proper government places, but soldiers with guns tend to be persuasive. If you don't provide a legal method for political dissent, don't be surprised when people choose an illegal one. >now doing prison This proves nothing but a government wanting to quash dissent.
