Isn't Castro the elected President of Cuba? How long until Chavez outlaws anyone running against him like Castro?

Saddam Hussein was elected with 99.9% of the vote his last election. Not sure if the .1% was brave, stupid, or just dead.

exactly. As president, you can make it so that its illegal to be something other than say, Communist. Or you can make it really REALLY hard for non-party members to vote.

Or you can scare the populus into voting for you, OR ELSE.

 

Anyways, most evil dictators in history were popularly elected.
