I have asked this question since time in memorial.
Thats why i think this is just the matter of opinion and i can also refer to the last Nigerian elections that brought in the current president in office.
Some say free and fair elections is a myth of our time!

Bush never used fear, violence and murder to get elected in 2000.
Bush was also elected by the people according to electoral colleges, and was re-elected in 2004, again winning witout fear, violence and murder.
Can we say these things about Mugabe?
Of course not.

Of course not.
The votes were rigged and Al Gore still cry foul up to this day.
Who was the supreme court judge who played a pivitol role in declaring Bush the winner?
Who appointed that judge on the bench?
Does G W Bush (snr) appointed this judge and what can we say about that?
So what electorial college are you talking about? What happened to the 50 000 or is it 500 000 votes in Florida.
We all know that by popular vote Bush was defeated by Al Gore.
Spare a thought to that unelected prime minister of the UK - Gordon Brown!
