Yes, I guess that political parties (at least in Spain) are quite aware what the turnout of booths are, since voting for a given party is really cross-related to where you actually live [1]. It would be quite easy for a rogue party to force rejections of the booths that *competing* parties would win more with. But this is actually quite OT, isn't it? Regards Javier [1] And your "assigned" booth for voting is based on which street you live in. You cannot select to vote in any booth. That's so that the people managing voters can have a limited census lists (voters in that booth) and it is easier to prevent duplicate voting, I guess.
