Good.
I call it "self-defense against FPTP".

[shankbear]

it's another way for them to say about themselves, "I'm a big whore."  No backbones or principles.  Pitiful.  Can't even be true to themselves.

Isn't this too similar to the illegal nadertrader site from the 2000 election?

I don't know why they're bothering. Voting for Nader that is!

Similar, Stry.  Remember the guy that was fined for trying to sell his vote in 2000 over eBay? 

This act is illegal, and I'm surprised that the site is still up on the internet.

[KEmperor]

This is QUITE illegal.

I don't know why it'd be illegal.
No money is involved, and there's no way you can find out how they really voted.

This is QUITE illegal.

But shredding Democratic voter registrations isn't. Got to love Republican morals.

It's voter fraud.  You basically allowing someone from outside your state to cast a vote.

No, you're not. You're entering into a worthless non-binding agreement.

There isn't any contract or money involved, so I don't see how it would be illegal.

Oh, by the way, this page is interesting:

Utah, uh, looks a bit odd there.

[ATFFL]

This is not illegal.  There is no exchange of money or anything else. 

I do wonder how many people will follow through on their pledge.

Neither is illegal.  Nobody is being compelled to do anything nor prohibited from doing anything.  Ah, that's called freedom, as opposed to a Stalinist-like system of one party rule.

It is also unenforcable, so not really a contract.

The vote swappers are nothing but VOTE WHORES.  Unprincipled, pitiful, jelly spined vote whores.

It's a free country, in spite of jfern's efforts.  "In a democracy, the whores are us."  I make no apoligies for it.
