THE AGENCY FOR MANUAL
ELECTION RECOUNTS claims they have the platform to sell your
election vote: online, global.
parasew.5uper.net
has an article in german, plus, in graz/austria, the radical media
hacking-group ubermorgen is
offering paper ballots from the us-election to be sent to the states.
could vote-selling be the business of the future?

In 2000, some people tried to sell their vote via ebay:
"Six people offered to sell their vote for president on the
Internet this week, fetching as much as $10,100 before online
auctioneer eBay canceled the bidding. Meanwhile, another site is
soliciting undecided voters to offer as a block to the highest bidder
for each state.[..]" (I-LIST)
From voteauction.com 2000 to
SELLtheVOTE 2004: Their point is "Why only americans are allowed to
elect the U.S. president, allthough his decisions will affect the whole
world?"
Quote from a mail-sendout from *THE AGENCY*:
"Voice from SELLtheVOTE.COM user Linda, 25, NY: My vote goes to a
Puerto Rican, Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico pay federal taxes,
fight in the US army, and have US passports - but are entirely denied
a right to vote in the presidential elections. ... Puerto Rico has been
occupied and used as a military training base by the US ... for
decades. I offer my vote to a Puerto Rican living in Puerto Rico ... I
will sell you my vote." |
