The founders assumed an active, independant-minded, educated populace, that 
would choose with honesty and foresight.?We were warned by some of them what 
could happen.

The only other check is the regular vote.?I do believe, however, that there 
was a law recently passed that allows the Chief Executive to suspend the 
"regular" rules, in case of emergency.?That could be construed to include 
elections.?? (I can't remember the specifics, however.?? Anybody?)

So, in short, Yes.? It could be just that easy...

What other checks are there to prevent someone from hijacking the
election, the Congress, and the country?  Could it be just that easy to
become a dictator?
