« Libertarian Badnarik May Cost Bush Support, Poll Finds | Main | IT Clouds Over the Sunshine State »
Marc Randazza recently published a law review article in the Washington University Law Quarterly making a case for why vote swapping is legal. Marc's article The Other Election Controversy of Y2K: Core First Amendment Values and High-Tech Political Coalitions gives a well thought out analysis of core first amendment issues. A definite read if you are intersted in the concept of vote swapping.

Vote swapping amounts to voting in a state or district in which you are not registered. That would amount to an illegal vote.
It is also an attempt to derail the American form of representative government. Having grown up in a country that had no regard for elections (the USSR) I think it is an attempt to derail the system.

You folks who can't abide an American President who doesn't cater to your leftist propaganda are going to have to get over your incessant nattering over whether or not Kerry won, lost, or tied the debate last week. Ever hear the adage "won the battle but lost the war?" You are about to see that in action in exactly 4 weeks.

In my opinion it's the same as "fixing" the election and/or buying votes without money exchanging hands.
What a sad state of affairs!!!!!!!!!!

This is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of in all my 55 years of life!!!! It is nothing more than at attempt by you and Senator Kerry to steal this election and keep it tied up in the courts for months. You morons...don't you know what that will do to this country!!!

OK , So I am supposed to vote for a idiot that would try to take advantage of such a ridiculous misrepresentation of the democratic process? You have got to be kidding!!!! Kerry.. I you cant win fairly, without screwing up the entire system, and without trying to tie up the entire election in the courts, then DONT RUN !!!!
