VotePair Begins Pairing Voters

Posted by michael on from the every-vote-is-sacred-every-vote-is-great dept.

Brent Emerson writes "Today VotePair started matching up safe state Kerry supporters with swing state third party sympathizers to facilitate strategic voting. They matched 1446 such voters. Their goals are to defeat George Bush, support third parties, and start a conversation about electoral reform in the United States. Whether you agree with their politics or not, their ultimate point is clear: a few hundred votes in particular states could determine the outcome of this election."

    The fact that you got modded Troll speaks tomes, IMHO.
    Well, they don't control the moderation. It's just that there are enough moderators who buy into the groupthink that it's effectively censorship of ideas that oppose the groupthink. For example, if you were to make an honest, well-thought-out, detailed and insightful post which happens to criticize the Libertarian Party's platform, you would be modded -1 Troll within minutes.
