Ah! the good old times when you could be a dictator and run a good biased election without having to move to Africa… *sigh*

I was surprised there’s even the option to choose “no.” Shouldn’t dictator’s ballots have only one choice?
Miss Cellania
Alex, they probably wanted a way to determine who to arrest next.

I am reminded of the Quebec separation vote in the 1990′s, where the two sides were “Oui” and “Non”.
Obviously, they couldn’t get away with big and small circles, but it struck me at the time how subtle the connotations of voting “Yes” or “No” were, in making separation sound positive, and staying as part of Canada sound negative.
It’s interesting how they’re also capitalizing on Adolf’s popularity by having his name larger than the rest of the question. Have things really changed that much?

I just phoned my Mom about this. She said that although she was too young to vote she remembers seeing the ballots and that two of her Aunts voted no yet the precient they voted reported a 100% yes vote.

Based on my information, in Cuba during last election your choice to make was between “Fidel” and “Castro”.
