The state of Florida was extremely closely watched after the 2000 presidental election, since the voting results from there had been ruled "too close to call". In the legal battle that follows, The Supreme Court eventually decided in favor of Bush in the case of Bush vs. Gore.
It's a false legend promoted by today's democratic governments.
In fact democracy in Ancient Greece wasn't how we know it today:

-Only adult rich men born in Athen with both the parents citizens of Athen could vote, in fact that was a minority
Most important
-People absolutely didn't like democracy, not who couldn't vote, they didn't care, but philosophers like Plato.
