Ballot stuffing.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* In one episode of ''[[Blackadder]] the Third'', Blackadder filled in for the single voter of a rotten borough and apparently placed several thousand votes for Baldrick.
** In the same episode he sarcastically comments on the system that allows this to happen: "Manchester. Population: 60,000. Electoral roll: 3"
* Happens in ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Played for Laughs]] in a ''[[Family Ties]]'' episode when a girl reveals her crush on Alex by telling him that when he ran for student council president, "I voted for you. Three hundred times. Sorry you didn't win." Later, his best friend Skippy makes the [[Running Gag|exact same confession]].
* Played with in a ''[[Parks and Recreation]]'' episode. They select the name of someone out of a hat to decide who has to do an unenviable task. It turns out everyone puts in [[Butt Monkey|Jerry]]'s name rather than their own.
