Undemocratic is the circumventing of democracy by fraud, deceit, for financial or for partisan gain. Original laws of a democratic nation can be used against it for malicious purposes.
Examples

- In '08, California Supreme Court struck down the gay marriage ban voted and approved by a majority of the people in 2000 as a ballot initiative
- Politicians votes are recorded as 'present' instead of voting yes or no on bills.
