The Most Fraudulent Election In History.. by Iliyasdass(m): 11:22am On Mar 10, 2019
Former Liberian president Charles King is listed in the Guinness book of records for the most fraudulent election recorded in history, having won the 1927 election with 234,000 votes in a country with 15,000 registered voters.

Charles Dunbar Burgess King (12 March 1875 – 4 September 1961) was a politician in Liberia of Americo-Liberian and Freetown Creole descent (his mother was an Americo-Liberian). He was a member of the True Whig Party, which ruled the country from 1878 until 1980. He served as the 17th President of Liberia from 1920 until 1930.
King was stiffly challenged in the presidential election of 1927 by Thomas J.R. Faulkner. According to an official statement, King received 234,000 votes; [2] however, Liberia had 15,000 registered voters at the time. Thus, King won the dubious achievement of being listed in the Guinness Book of Records for the most fraudulent election reported in history.
