And, because democracy is about institutions as much as about individual candidates, it is also good for citizens to exercise their right to vote. Then, when real change does occur, no one can claim that the people “are not ready for it.”
这两种原因都有其正确之处。任何能够表达自己观点的机会，即使是在作弊的选举中，对于人民而言都是一件好事。而且，由于民主事关机构也同样事关候选人，公民行使投票权也是一件好事。这样，当真正的变化的确发生之时，没有人能够宣称人民“还没有准备好”。然而，如果投票赋予公民尊严，被卷入舞弊就是屈辱。
