Vote-pairing Web site draws wide support, harsh criticism
From Court Tv Online:

...Swing-state progressives who acknowledge that their votes for Ralph Nader, David Cobb or Michael Badnarik are little more than political statements are turning to Votepair.org, a Web site that puts them in contact with Democrats in states with a candidate clearly in the lead.

...the progressive voter pledges to cast a ballot for John Kerry in his swing state and the Democrat promises to cast a third-party vote in his Republican-safe state to bolster polls nationwide...

...Absent from the process is the exchange of money or material compensation or the words "swap" or "trade." This absence renders agreements at Votepair.org legal.


:wow:
