I heard about it on the news, so I checked out their website, and.... I did it. I've been leaning toward Nader for the past 3-4 weeks. I just felt I couldn't bring myself to vote for Gore as the lesser of two evils. So when I heard about Vote Swap, I checked it out. Since Texas is a foregone conclusion for Dubya, I decided to give it a shot. I'm voting for Nader, and a gentleman from Illinois who I just got off the phone with will be voting for Gore. Flame me if you like...I felt that since it looked like I was going to be voting for Nader anyway I might as well go ahead and do this. The gentleman from Illinois was nice and we had a good conversation. So, I'm going to do it. ------------------ I am the b*stard son of LHutz. Huh? Right!

No flame here, Tex. I swapped my vote with a gentleman from Washington state. He'll vote Gore for me, I'll vote Nader for him. Sounds like a fair trade. I most likely would have voted for Nader anyway, but this adds just a little extra anti-Bush sentiment, which is fine with me. We got in just under the wire though, as I received an e-mail from the site today letting me know they were shutting down due to possible legal complications.
How does this work? Doesn't each one of your votes cancel each other out? I'm confused what's the url? [This message has been edited by mc mark (edited November 02, 2000).]

Thanks Rocketman, Seems this won't do anything for me as I am in New York. What a great idea though. ------------------ 'Deeds, not words, shall speak me.'
A Gore supporter in a state that Bush has already won promises a Nader supporter in a battleground state that he will vote Nader if the guy in the battleground state will vote for Gore. That way Nader gets a vote toward his 5% and Gore gets a vote in a battleground state. In my case, I was planning on voting for Nader anyway. I just wanted to make it count a little more than it would without a swap, that's all. ------------------ I am the b*stard son of LHutz. Huh? Right!
