楼主说的不对 Today, Raskin, who is now a state senator running for Congress, says vote trading is “perfectly legal” — largely thanks to a 2007 court case. In the aftermath of the 2000 election, one of the vote trading sites, VoteSwap2000.com, brought a suit before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The resulting case, Porter v. Bowen, established vote trading as “clearly protected by the First Amendment.” To this day, it is the only authoritative legal case on record on the topic.
