Get the dememt mug.To destroy democratic norms, and the power of the voters to determine their destiny. This is done by limiting the rights of the public to vote, limiting certain types of people from voting such as minorities, or parts of the US such as Puerto Rico or Washington DC, limiting access to polling, gerrymandering districts, giving certain voters more value than others, removing people from the voter rolls, not registering people who registered, limiting times when people can vote, limiting polling places, greatly expanding the time it takes for people to vote especially on election day, having faulty voting machines, poll taxes, literacy tests, faulty ballots and voting machines, tossing ballots, etc. In some cases like Washington DC and Puerto Rico, they have no representatives in Congress.
In some cases, de-democratization can occur after a free and fair election when the politician does not carry out their oath of office and gives greater weight to certain special interests. In some cases, a politician may have extreme biases and fail to allow a fair competition of ideas during public participation and legislative debate. In some cases, this is because the politician took bribes, was given special favors, made significant campaign contributions, or because of inappropriate political pressure from the party.
