i said that it works IF the system is in any way functional
but i kinda find it hard to accept the notion that the state controllers get payed off to look the other way one something like fake votes
its not a small thing to fake votes
its the sort of thing that triggers revolutions (see iran)

you can lie about the small things and end up getting in trouble if its discovered
the big things are kinda more problematic

@narona
i agree that you know from the start
i just dont think it does you much good
most dictators are VERY good at deflecting criticism by finding enemies from without to blame
most people would much sooner support their country in a war against a foreign enemy rather then they would protest against their own enemies from within any day of the week
thats why dictatorships are always in conflict with other countries throughout their existance
they cant survive without having someone to blame for everything
