Not to be that guy but I'm going to be that guy. Hitler wasn't voted in. Furher was decided by the majority party in the Reichstag. In fact Hitler couldn't be voted in, he not only wasn't born German but he had been banned from running for office. So the NAZI party gained the majority and elected hitler as their guy.
