Vote for the worst is made up of a group of over-weight middle aged housewives who sit around their computer all day stalking people half their age. They follow American Idol and stalk all the contestants because they themselves have no lives. Since they have become old and over-weight they try to live vicariously through younger people.
Who is that fat piglet that sits in front of the computer all day. "It must be someone from Vote For The Worst".

When there is more than one man in a room and one of said men has "information" he is not sharing with the other men (i.e. naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend), a noble man may call upon the Man-Vote. All men present take part in the Man-Vote, voting either for or against the viewing of said information. As always, majority rule.
That fairy wouldn't show us the pictures of his girlfriend on his phone so I called a Man-Vote.

n.; a politician who will say, do, and/or promise anything to get more votes. In reality, most elected officials are like this, but the one who does it most obviously is the one who's called a vote whore.
"I was gonna vote for Mitt Romney, but when he flip-flopped on the tax issue just because he realized most people were against it, I went with Parry. What a vote whore."

The "so not a cult" response to disenfranchised voters: an internet movement that promises enlightenment can be reached by voting oulangi, any contest any ballot.
Usually added as a tag to a non related election discussion, similar to "Killroy was here"

A device that records the choices of voters in an election. It can take several forms:
---
1. (Becoming less and less common in the U.S.)
A mechanical device, where the voter flips small levers next to the candidates' names to indicate their choices, then pulls a big lever to record the votes. Very difficult to tamper with.
---
2. (Very common in the U.S.)
A direct-recording electronic (DRE) machine. May print vote totals on paper, but there is no way for a voter to verify that his/her votes were accurately recorded.
Unlike mechanical voting machines, DRE machines are EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO FRAUD. In addition to outright tampering with the records, malware can be used to steal a percentage of votes, reassigning them to the rigged candidate. The purported verification mechanisms -- logs, audit trails, "snapshots" of individual voters' choices -- can be manipulated to leave no evidence, corresponding perfectly to the rigged results.

3. (The way to use technology for elections we can have confidence in)
An electronic machine that lets the voter make choices (preventing overvotes and highlighting undervotes), then PRINTS AN ACTUAL FILLED-OUT PAPER BALLOT, which the voter can review and either discard (and start over) or cast.
THE PAPER BALLOT IS THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE VOTE. (Voters could also choose to fill in a blank ballot by hand.)
Ballots can be quickly counted by optical scanning technology. Importantly, ballots can be RECOUNTED, by hand if necessary.
Counts from the voting machines need not be trusted as anything more than quick estimates or "exit polls". This system makes it difficult to commit the large-scale fraud so easy to do invisibly with paperless DRE machines.

A number of Diebold electronic voting machines have been in the news, first for criminally incompetent software and database design, leaving vote records wide open to undetectable tampering, more recently for vulnerability to "computer virus" style malware that can spread from machine to machine through the data cards used to collect voting data.
Making such electronic voting machines widespread is the perfect way to lay the groundwork for large-scale, invisible voter fraud.
There's plenty of information on this on the Web. A good place to start: the Coalition for Voting Integrity, www.coalitionforvotingintegrity.org .

A website run by degenerates of society who have nothing better to do with their time. At one point considered interesting for American Idol watchers, the owners and members now spend most of their waking moments insulting, degrading, or cursing at contestants they don't like, fans of contestants they don't like, and anyone who does not share their viewpoint. Their forums are filled with hate filled threads and fan mocking threads and include some very nasty language and scary behavior.
Instead of voting for the "worst" these days, they pick a contestant who is in the middle ground so when they get voted thru they can claim a VFTW victory! In actuality, barely anyone reads the site anymore except longtime losers who have been around or are related to the owner, as it is a hostile, unwelcoming, and generally depressive environment. The writing is also amateur at best, the radio show is boring and self serving.
"Hey Sally, did you call in for the pick from VFTW last night?"
No, I have a life.
