Vote Swapping

[phiwum]

I believe the high profile case ATM is a congresscritter, and he's screaming that it's his right to snap a pic of his own ballot.
I been tending to agree with him.

But now I see your point that there may be legit reasons why he caught heat for doing it.

That and the fat he publicized it.

How would the monitors even know you'd done it otherwise... barring leaving your phone turned up, and the shutter sound on.

Right, if we can take photos of our ballots, then we can be pressured to vote for a particular candidate and give proof that we did so. Or we can sell our vote and give proof to ensure payment.

But that's what's described in the OP--Trump and Clinton voters swapping votes.

If it's Stein and Clinton voters, it makes more sense, but less sense than it did in 2000, because there's no hope of Stein getting to 5%. She'll be lucky to exceed 1%. And I don't see a lot of Democrats willing to make that swap post-Nader. They've gone non-cooperative with respect to the Greens.

I know what the OP said, but I'm clarifying what I've actually heard about going on as far as vote-swapping goes, which makes a lot more sense.

Yeah, it does make more sense.

I'm just not convinced it's happening to a notable extent. The Nader trader stuff was at least worth commenting on.
