Votes have a small but real value, and this can easily be seen from the fact that corrupt politicians will pay actual money for them. Politicians will pay $10-20 per vote in actual money. That's not huge, but it's not nothing, and it is worth more than a scooter if you do it regularly. http://panglott.blogspot.com/2012/11/votes-are-worth-something.html http://panglott.blogspot.com/2012/11/votes-are-worth-somethi...

- panglott 11y agoThe way this kind of voter fraud typically works is that there is a permanent local political organization that organizes the vote-buying and hands out the cash. This is of course illegal, and retail vote-buying has to be laundered through local corruption. Political parties are bizarre, organizationally speaking.
