VotePair || How It Works

] First, strategic voters enter their state and voting

This is interesting. I'm sure Badnarik supporters cringe at the use of the word "progressive" (which is a code word for socialist). I'm not suggesting that anyone do this. Its totally insecure. If I'm in a "secure state" and I'm willing to engage in this kind of vote trade, then there is no reason for me to engage in it as I might as well vote for the third party candidate anyway. However, its quite a subversive use of Internet technology.
