Daniel 2:21 NLT - "He controls the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings..."
Luke 1:52 NLT - "He has brought down princes from their thrones..."

Both Daniel and Mary had it right - Politicians don't set the rules and a populace doesn't control an election.  God does.  He puts people in charge and He removes them when He wants.  When we "elect" a president or governor, or any other leader, ultimately the choice is in the hands and wisdom of God.  He knows when a despotic ruler can ultimately carry out His plans.  He also knows how to remove such an individual and put a "man of God" in his place.  When an election is complete the outcome is more in the hands of God than in the voters.
