Topic	My friends dad offered me $20 to vote for Trump
Zeus 10/08/20 5:29:51 PM #10:	Lokarin posted... What is the actual value of a vote? Depends on where it's cast and how close the margins are. `In some areas it's either worthless or worth relatively little because it's all but decided anyway. In the purplest area of a hotly contested swing state, I'm sure people might be willing to pay $1k each, considering how much money is spent on advertising in those states. Keep in mind that some states were decided by fewer than 5k votes. That'd only be $5m (or less, if they were going to vote for the other party). --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:945621943] in My friends...
