Saddam had those kinds of elections.
But then again, Saddam isn't a current dictator.
To a degree, the U.S. has those types of elections - the manipulation of the election system by two parties, both appealling to the lowest common denominator. You could say that atleast we don't allow a single man to become a King - but it's debateable whether that is much worse than LCD as King.
