This looks to me like a highly effective opportunity to get out the vote for Kamala Harris, even with just a few more days until the U.S. election.

Description from their fundraising page:

SwapYourVote.org "connects a single third-party/protest voter in a swing states with two Harris voters in safe Blue states. The voters then 'swap'—the swing state voter votes for Harris, and the safe state voters vote for the protest/third party candidate. Harris gets an extra vote where it matters, and the protest/third party voter gets two votes on their behalf without any risk of helping Trump."

At our current performance levels, we are delivering new swing state Harris votes for less than 1/10th the cost of any other program we're aware of. This is due in part to the lack of competition for this kind of attention, combined with the already high vote propensity of the targets—who are able to vote their conscience AND vote to defeat Trump in a way that is not otherwise possible for them."

Ways you can make a significant impact, in order of least to most commitment:

  • If you live in a safe blue state like California, you can likely produce one-half of a counterfactual swing-state vote with only a few minutes of your time!
  • You can spread the word about this little-known intervention with your friends through social media or text messages, especially those who live in safe states or swing states.
  • Through donation, you can likely get counterfactual swing-state votes for Harris for just ~$100-$300 per vote (DM me for the math).

I'm not american so I have no skin in the game.

Isn't one of the democrat's main arguments that Trump is a danger to democracy and won't respect basic duties ? Supporting cheating seems a bit hypocritical.

Edit : This is not actually cheating, I had misunderstood it. Still, not much of a fan of such ideas.
