Well, technically George W. Bush wasn't elected either ;-).

"President Hindenburg 
<http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_von_Hindenburg> had agreed to call 
for new elections, which Hitler won in March 1933 with 44% of the votes."
You must remember that Germany at that time had parliamentary system, as 
opposed to US's presidential system.

And as an obligatory on-topic. WW seems to have presidential system 
without general elections. Minister of Magic have enourmous powers, just 
like US president.
