But maybe they restrained themselves, out of respect for democracy.

All this reminds me of the scene in the Simpsons movie where the cops see the mobsters dragging a blanket-wrapped body towards the lake, and their leader remarks out loud that he is merely disposing of yard-trimmings. The cops say, hey Chief, shouldn't we investigate? That looks like a dead body.

The chief says, that's what I thought too at first, but then I heard him say "yard-trimmings". Gotta learn to listen, boys.
