If we are talking about voting and words from Germanic languagues: with just one vowel difference (when pronounced), there exists the German (derogatory) word "Stimmvieh" [vote cattle]

* for voters who vote for a party or candidate without informing themselves about their actual political goals and qualifications
* for politicians who vote for their party line because they fear sanctions if they don't
* for how politicans see their voters: just a stupid cattle that put them into power
