"Democracy" used to mean one man, one vote, back in the dinosaur days when I was young. They actually used to say that very thing - "one man, one vote". Now they want to re-define it to mean "mobs of people, NO votes". Voting is a cornerstone of democracy, so of course they want to eradicate it - they want to destroy democracy in order to save it, which makes no damned sense.
Part of the reason that American confidence in the government is so low nowadays is the fact that everyone SAW a stolen election, but everyone is also hamstrung and muzzled, not allowed to discuss it. Like Ravaswamy says, if you want to see people yell, try to silence them. If you want to see them burn stuff down, then don't allow them to yell, either. This is a near-perfect plan to kick off a civil war by taking away everyone's voice in elections, however illusionary that voice may be. What a great plan for an excuse for an authoritarian crack-down on freedoms by the Annointed Ones!
So how do you keep everyone from seeing a stolen election, watching the numbers inexplicably change inb real time? How do you avoid having to very publicly shut down vote counts for hours in the middle of the night, only to re-open them with inexplicably changed numbers (if no one was counting, how could those numbers change?) all skewed in one direction? Institute a lottery. As has been mentioned, they are easier to rig, anyhow. You just get a field of 407 people running, and stuff the lottery box with 407 pieces of paper, all with one name on them - the name of the Annointed One. Everyone sees there are 407 pieces of paper in the box, so it has to be legit, right?
