I would love to see the full weight of the law come down on these people.

(My apologies to the Pot Party......just picked a group at random.....figured they'd be too disinterested to get pissed at me)
Frankly, I see it the complete opposite way. What's the harm, that people vote strategically? All that does is it makes the results more closely approximate instant-runoff voting, which as far as I'm concerned is a better system anyways.
