Votar vs. Botar

In Spanish, both "v" and "b" can be (in a number of regions) pronounced with the same sound: "b". The verb "votar" means to vote. The verb "botar" means to throw out, to throw away, to get rid of. Interesting to see whose votes will be "botado" (thrown out) and whose will actually be voted.

More linkage fun:
Fair Vote's Election Predictions - Follow the polls as they close from East to West.
Vote Pair - Although you can't vote pair now, you can read about this interesting proposition. Completely legal.
