New Duh!
So what's to keep me from giving you $5 for your ballot? I'll fill it in and mail it in.

I'll bet over 50% of Americans are so disenfrancised with the election process, that they would sell their ballot for $5. And don't go doing the survey on the forum, because we're well educated, concerned citizens.

Besides, if you won't sell it to me, then I'll just steal it from your mailbox (or the local postal center).

New Actually they steal it from the unaudited computer record...
behind the unverifiable touch-screen.

And then pass laws where you only have standing to sue about it if you are the attorney general appointed by the winners.

(See Nebraska for prior art - I am not making this up.)

Cheers,
Ben
