Yep, the cartoon villains that think these things up use cartoon logic. How do we trick people into voting for us? We hire professional actors and front men. Hit them with branding and sell them on the idea of, "you can be rich like us if only you vote for us." When they don't deliver, well it was the oppositions fault, you just need to vote for us harder!

I could, today, write a new American classic called, "Check the voting records." It would be an upbeat jaunt but end with the protagonist under a streetlight sobbing as he stomps his hat into the ground.
