Sorry, this is just a way to convince idiots in swings states not to “message vote”.
There are real benefits to the third party candidate in this scenario though - since they’re getting multiple votes in a safe state, but federal campaign funding eligibility is just based on the national popular vote, this gets them closer to that funding than if the swing voter did a straight vote for the third party.
I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)
Yup, instance checks out. Someone is working with Putin.
