He IS the Potter, You Are The Clay

Romans 13:1

[1] Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Daniel 2:21

[21] He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Psalm 75:6-7

[6] No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man.

[7] But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.

So, if this is true... and you believe that it is in fact God's Word, then how is God establishing leaders in a voting environment?

Is He cheating? Does He miraculously create ballots for His chosen candidate?

Is He politely asking just enough people to vote for His guy, so he wins?

No, both of these ideas are stupid.

So, how is He doing it?

The same way He does it for conquerors and usurpers... God sovereignly controls the thoughts and decisions that lead up to every circumstance.

If you think that is unfair, who are you to judge God?

Romans 9:17-21

[17] For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

[18] Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

[19] One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?"

[20] But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, `Why did you make me like this?'"

[21] Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?

Know the Scriptures.

Know God's power.

Do not be in error.

"Look, that little teacup is mad that I didn’t make him a plate..."
