GOD appoints to office whom he wills. Does that mean GOD controls how people will vote, if it gets his will done. I sometimes think people will vote against their common sense or reasoning. His will can control how people vote. Since he raises up nations and brings them down the people will go the way he wants them too. It's like we are just pawns in the game.
Does GOD control how the masses vote?

I think in a Democracy, people decide what kind of leadership they want. God does determine everything that happens around us. However the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is Spiritual in nature. It is not of this world as Jesus himself says to Pontius Pilate. So when you look at worldly leadership, it is for the people by the people.
I suggest you wake up and take a side in politics and support either for or against. You cannot take middle ground. There is no middle ground because if you take middle ground, it means you're just happy with everything the way it is. But that's what freedom gives you. To do as you please.
Every vote does count. It is people's rule. It is not a roll of the dice or random. Sure, there is some luck to it. But it is a majority decision by most number of votes.
If people are not happy with the government, they can topple the government worst case scenario. There is room for that in most constitutions of the world. Either that or revolution.
God's rule is different. His Kingdom is different. Not of this world. What we do have is God's love and protection that comes from that Kingdom.

Please read some history and rethink what you just said. The number of people who have been killed because of religion is huge. Many have been enslaved, raped, butchered because of religion. Christians have killed Christians and it will happen again and again.
Christians have also plundered third world countries of their wealth. They have destroyed the way of life of many people and wiped out civilisations. We as human beings are the barbarians and cannibals, make no mistake about it. And laws and government is necessary. It has always been.
I think God's kingdom is in our hearts. It is not to be mistaken for a Nation or political ideologies or anything worldly. God's kingdom is a kingdom where we enter as individuals. Jesus Christ is our personal Saviour.
I think, if people thought rationally in terms of politics, it will help.

God's sovereignty isn't impinged upon by men's choices...He doeth His will in the armies of heaven and amongst the inhabitants of the earth, and none shall stay His hand...
But that doesn't keep God from using men's choices to accomplish His ends...Romans 8:28.
If we see history as under divine control this is easily understood. History is following a divine plan and a divine timetable. Nothing will frustrate what God has purposed and decreed.

I think we have free choice to vote who we want in Office ----that being said ---God will use whoever He wants in any position He wants to bring about His Will to bring His plan which is still playing out to conclusion -----
For instance ----Jerusalem plays a very important role in the Last days for God's plan to come to conclusion and so do the Jews ----Jerusalem as a Capital of Israel was taken away from the Jews and the Palestinians took over Jerusalem and made Palestine the Capital and robbed Jerusalem of the title -----
For God's plan to play out Jerusalem needed to be given back to the Jews ---every President said they would move the American Embassy back to Jerusalem so that the Jews could have their Capital of Israel back in place -----but this was never done ---All Presidents reneged on this Promise -------Except Donald Trump who actually gave the Jews back their Jerusalem ------and it had to happen for God's future plan to play out -----
So God in the passed has used different people even a prostitute to bring about His Will -so His plan can come to completion ----
So I do believe God used Donald Trump in His position to do His will in that situation -----
