What is cash4votes.com?
I was in Cranberry--northern suburb of Pittsburgh--today and on the Interstate exit ramps along with the usual political signs were signs that said:

WE BUY VOTES
CASH4VOTES.COM

I'm afraid to go look--I just imagine the site will overrun my computer with nasty viruses. Does anyone know what this particular scam is?

1. Just report the signs to the police. Buying votes is illegal. (nt)

2. It appears you register to vote and then you have a chance to win $1,000.
Not a bad idea, gives people incentive to vote.

4. Oh, good
It's not what I thought it was.

Although the deadline to register to vote in PA is long over.

5. Weird. If the future your country is not a reason worth voting,then
these voters are not very well informed and would probably be voting for the same greedy shallow motives used to lore their registration.

It's not kosher.
