It's like Iraq without all the suicide bombers, armed Americans and falafel

Ok, it's very little like Iraq, but at least we too now have free and democratic elections. If you don't vote, you don't get a say on when or where we go next.

Like in Ukraine, there is very little (other than the fear of worldwide protests) stopping you from stuffing the ballot box. But, I expect you to play nice and bribe me where necessary, for I -- as keeper of the sacred polling password -- have the ability to adjust the count on my whim.
