Definition

An old fraud in which a voter is handed a pre-ma rked ballot by a party worker. The voter then enters the polling place and receives a blank ballot, but deposits the marked ballot in the ballot box and leaves with the blank ballot, which is handed to the party worker, marked, and then given to the next voter to repeat the cycle. This process can continue all day, giving the party control of a large number of voters.
