There's many ways to get votes. For instance, in Russia they like to simply print additional ballots and cheat the system the good old way.
Same here, politicians arrange with thugs to snatch ballot boxes so that they can use their printed ballot papers to replace the snatched ones.
Politicians make promises and they can are elected in offices,they don't keep to their promise. I don't know why most politicians are the same irrespective of the countries. Is it that there are no good people going into politics that are honest and truthful or when they enter the system,the politicians influences them with their untruthful life style. Corruption can make one do anything to get money especially when lies are the easy means.
