Having elections is only one part of the battle, not even the most important piece.

It is a net negative to focus on if there will be elections, some of the most authoritarian governments have them like clockwork.

Who has the franchise, who can be on the ballot, who does the counting, and acceptance of the results is where the money that can be spent or invested is.
