ballot stuffing

Description

Ballot stuffing is the age-old performance in the backstage of democracy, where reality bows to desire. It is the ritual of ignoring actual support, cramming unruly ballots into the box to materialize a fantasy. Under the guise of fairness, it suffocates the right to participate along with the paper. Often carried out under the cover of night, by morning the spell of numbers is complete. For those who believe that shaking the box will make public will dance, it is the perfect moment of celebration.
