As kids you may have swapped trading cards or phone numbers, but this election year, you can swap something else, your vote. That's right, you and a voter in another state can arrange to trade your votes for president.

There are some voters across the country living in heavily Republican states. They feel their vote won't count in Novembers election, so they're using a web site, called vote pair, to swap their vote with someone in another state where they think their vote will have an impact.

Right now, polls show which states President Bush will most likely win and those which John Kerry will most likely win, but the so-called "swing states" where the races are close is where vote pairing comes into play. For example, a voter from Utah, a state that usually goes Republican, trades their Kerry vote, for a third party vote in Pennsylvania. By trading votes with someone in another state where the race is close, many feel their vote for their candidate will have more meaning and impact...and this is happening all over the country, but is this legal?

Ray Wrabley, a political scientist says, In terms of the legality, I don't think anyone's exchanging money for a vote or anyone's being pressured to switch a vote. In fact, people are voluntarily seeking out a pair to swap and so I don't think there's anything illegal to it.

Another question, will this have any impact on Novembers election? Wrabley says, People have voted strategically for a long time and the people who are doing this are some of the most attentive sophisticated voters. There's not very many of them, so in the end I don't think it'll make much of a difference because we won't see many people doing it.

In the 2000 election 36,000 people swapped their presidential votes.
