I removed the orphan tag because I added a few links in the pertinent pages. Papercrab (talk) 19:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

I think the title "Electoral Raiding" might be a better fit for the article. Another choice would be "Raiding (politics)".Tyrenon (talk) 02:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should be merged into Crossover voting. The ideas are nearly synonymous, the term is less pejorative, and Crossover voting is already well incorporated into the "Elections" topic.64.222.145.53 (talk) 16:30, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Examples[edit]

Wouldn't those 2 examples in the US presidential primaries be different? In the case of Rush Limbaugh, since Hillary Clinton was not as liberal as Barack Obama, a conservative is encouraging his supporters to vote for the candidate who is closer to them politically, even though she was still quite far from them. In the case of the 2012 Republican primaries, liberals were being asked to vote for the candidate further from them politically, in the hope that he would be easier to defeat in the final election.

Other countries[edit]

This is also sometimes alleged to happen in other countries albeit with different terms. For example when the British Labour Party chose to ask its members about who should succeed Gordon Brown and they ultimately chose Jeremy Corbyn a lot of people said there was "Entryism" of people who - for genuine or nefarious purposes - wished to push Jeremy Corbyn. Similarly for both membership referenda of the SPD regarding whether or not to enter a coalition with the CDU/CSU after the 2013 and 2017 elections there were very arcane and specific rules about when one had to have joined the party to be eligible to vote due to similar concerns.
