And how could you trust them [or they trust you], and not be taken for a sucker? The way around it would be to have votes [or valid obligations/assignments of future votes] actually tradable on, say, a stock exchange or something like that. Then a third party, having gotten enought of these, would indeed get stronger. Suffice it to say, we do not have that, and even a small Congress with only 535 members is not quite reliable in its internal and informal horsetrading. And to extend the informal system to 100+ million strong electorate?

In order for that to happen, you would need to build a relationship with your Vote Buddy. The site can't do that for you so the responsibility is on the person willing to take this up.

You are right that the other person you partner with can agree but later break their promise. Therefore, if your state has it, the best way would be to utilize mail-in ballots, meet one day with your Vote Buddy cast your votes in front of them and then place your ballot in the envelope and mail it in in front of each other at a mailbox or have someone you both trust do it for you.

A couple of people I know do this already and it wors well for them.
