>would he really go for such unrealistic numbers

I am from Kazakhstan. If you've ever heard of it, would you consider it to be an autocratic state? Because according to the official results our beloved leader received 98% of votes in an election a few years back. Now that's an unrealistic number for sure.




At that point, why even a facade. :)


That's how these things have always worked. Autocratic leaders like to have "elections" that they win by unrealistic margins.


I can see how that might be a power trip.
