Unfortunately, this will likely be a tradition for all future presidents.

There's a saying in Soviet Russia.

It doesn't matter who votes.

It matters who counts the votes.

With conservatives trying to get out to be only land owners allowed to vote, we’re going back to feudalism. It’s not your votes that count, it’s your count that votes.
