You know I hope that that phrase was used in Chicago a hundred years ago by republicans. It is not nor ever have been a tactic used in Australia.
Voter manipulation is much more prevalent in advertising and voting booth "How to vote the correct way" that was employed by the Liberal party in Victoria.

The cynical phrases "Vote early -- and often" and "Vote early -- and vote often" are variously attributed to three different Chicagoans: Al Capone, the famous gangster; Richard J. Daley, mayor from 1955 to 1976; and William Hale Thompson, mayor from 1915-1923 and 1931-1935. All three were notorious for their corruption and their manipulation of the democratic process. It is most likely that Thompson invented the phrase, and Capone and Daley later repeated it.
