A ballad of democracy in ballots

If you鈥檝e been reading us lately, you might see an interesting challenge in connecting the dots from various recent elections around the world. Last week, Ivory Coast鈥檚 autocratic president won a fourth term with nearly 90% of cast ballots. Across the Atlantic, Argentina鈥檚 president secured a surprising mandate for his pro-market disruption agenda. In the United States, meanwhile, Democrats swept the boards in off-year ballots coast to coast.In one race, more than 2 in 3 voters refused to participate in an election from which the leading opposition candidates were banned. In another, voters expressed patience amid painful economic reforms. In the third, voters affirmed that the people shall govern.Drawn together, these outcomes reveal a picture of democracy鈥檚 resilience.
