At the beginning of the 20th century, most "democracies" only allowed men to vote and typically had a property/wealth requirement or somehow gave a greater weight to the voting power of the wealthy. By the end of the 20th century, every democracy (correct me if I'm wrong) had equal and universal suffrage. There are still dictatorships and countries with rigged elections of course, but no overt restrictions on suffrage or weighted/plural voting. How could this be avoided?
