X reinstates SwapYourVote’s account after suspending it as spam

In the final days leading up to the U.S. presidential election, Elon Musk’s X suspended the official account of a progressive-donor-backed ballot initiative called SwapYourVote. The volunteer-run website tries to get third-party voters in swing states to cast their ballots for Kamala Harris, matching them with Democrats in solidly blue states who agree to vote for the candidate of the swing state voter’s choosing. Vote swapping, also called co-voting or vote pairing, is a controversial practice that dates back to America’s 2000 presidential election, where more than 36,000 Ralph Nader and Al Gore supporters traded votes.
