No, but if the system makes it so that the argument can't even occur, then what other option do you have?

For example, if information that people need for discussion is not made available to them (Example US, other regimes). Or if there are people standing at the voting stations and you know something will happen to you if you vote 'wrongly' (Iraq, North Korea, many other 'dictatorships'). Then there is no way for people to change their government through legal means, and 'illegal' means become the best for use. This is an example of this (through information control rather than armed guards, but still..)

You can't say that with this information some people wouldnt' have voted differently.
