http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politic...ege-irrelevantI had no reason to look it up without context. when you mentioned vote swapping, wasn't sure you were talking about legislative going ons (they do vote swap as a legislative favor) and this was a vote fraud thread. so I could not contextualize vote swapping as vote fraud.

Seeing you were too lazy to look it up.
Never said it was illegal, just asked if you had heard of it. Originally Posted by i'va biggen

Lol you post all kinds of shit with links wanting someone to read them.
didn't know about the vote swapping websites that date to election of 2000. interesting.
you should have posted that link earlier and you wouldn't have come off as a dumb clueless know-it-all.
LOL
"One key point is that these kinds of agreements are inherently unenforceable, given the secret ballot"
that said, vote swapping is stupid idea and won't be factor.
it doesn't seem like voter fraud, I do think its inappropriate. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

Is he talking about voter fraud, or is he talking about the collusion between the media and establishment politicians and their coalitions – “the system”? Many people agree with the Republican presidential candidate’s use of “rigged” for one or both of these definitions.
The North Carolina story may be a good example of combining these two characterizations of “rigged” – and of how that word may not even be strong enough to describe what’s going on.
The Media
First, no story about “rigged” elections is complete without mention of the mainstream media. Most recently, nationally and locally, the media have been reporting Democrat Hillary Clinton is leading in states where early voting is taking place, including North Carolina. They point to political party affiliation in the turnout numbers and come to the conclusion that since more Democrats are voting, then Clinton must be winning.
But this betrays the media’s ignorance about our state.
In North Carolina, Democrats always outnumber Republicans at the polls, because by party registration Democrats make up nearly 40 percent of the electorate, while Republicans make up only 30 percent. Some of that registration edge, however, is more a reflection of history, habit and tradition than contemporary voting tendencies.
By no means is early voting turnout by party an indication of who is winning. In 2012, when Obama lost North Carolina by nearly 100,000 votes and the Republican legislature solidified their super majorities, 2,774,594 people voted early. Of those, 1,317,822 were Democrats, 874,205 were Republicans and 576,273 were unaffiliated. The Democrats’ registration edge failed to translate to victory at the polls.
The mainstream media’s reporting of early voting turnout as a reflection of who is winning the presidential race seems more an attempt to discourage voters who are voting for Republicans or Trump, both of which most mainstream outlets have loudly criticized over the last several years. This should remind us of the time when it was commonplace for organizations (mostly media outlets) to commission exit polls and announce winners even before the polls closed. Exit polling was stopped once it was proven that the polls and the reporting of the polls could affect the outcome of political contests.
