Um...then the people buying votes are idiots, I guess.

As I already pointed out, absentee ballots are a perfect way to buy votes.
You don't even leave the voting up to the seller. You just get their vote
by proxy, through their absentee ballot.

Only for the seller too dumb to use absentee ballots.

Um, again...idiots? Anyone who stands outside a polling place and offers
money to anyone who just happened to vote the way they wanted, that's an
idiot right there.

"Sea change"? I don't think so.
