The appearance of legitimacy. Even in Russia they're still holding elections, while blatantly stuffing ballots on camera and jailing opposition candidates, but for whatever reason, they still continue with the sham of the elections because it makes it more "official". I kind of scratch my head at it too, it's like, "None of this is real, why are you even bothering with the charade?" I guess just having a smidge of a process gives true believers something to point to, no matter how small, something that justifies the whole thing.
