I understand yours and Lukifer's point of view except 'buying votes' is already being done. We have billion of dollars at play into the elections. We have history on top of history to know which districts vote which way and we target the swing states to help decide the outcome of the election. Sure the money is going into mass mailing marketing campaigns, TV ads, community support, but it's the same result. Everyone talks about buying votes but does anyone have any concrete examples? (Not saying it doesn't happen, simply that I don't have any good examples to learn from atm.) All I'm getting back from Google are accusations against Obama (no surprise given the recent election) and a mention from Wikipedia about Vote Buying in 'ye old England'. I'd do a more detailed search except it's late and I'm off to bed. This discussion is getting interesting.
