==Background==
Voteauction was the brainchild of James Baumgartner, at the time a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,〔() Wired.com, Close Vote? You Can Bid on It, Mark K. Anderson, 08.17.00〕 the website was later sold for an undisclosed sum to Ubermorgen.com in Austria. The artist duo consisting of lizvlx (AT) and Hans Bernhard (CH/USA) ran it from August 1 - November 7, 2000, posing as "Eastern European business people". CNN.com called them "Maverick Austrian Businessmen".〔() Vote-selling Web site to be revived, possibly offshore, CNN.com, August 25, 2000〕 Legal precautions against extradiction and rendition were taken by consulting specialists in different countries and by physically moving on a daily basis.〔() Excerpts from Ubermorgen.com communication with lawyers, ACLU, EFF〕 The auctioning web-site was re-designed in September and underwent minor changes over the course of the project.〔() Final web-site version Nov 7, 2000〕〔() Initial web-site version by James Baumgartner with minor changes by Ubermorgen.com〕 The web-site initial domain voteauction.com (hosted by Domainbank) and the second domain vote-auction.com were disabled by American court orders〔() Voteauction.net: Protected Political Speech or Treason? by Rebecca Murray, Associate Managing Editor for Suffolk University Law School Journal of High Technology Law, Juris Doctor, May 2005〕 and without legally served court order by CORENIC in Geneva,〔 leading to a series of press-releases to communicate the new location, hence generating more publicity for the web-site.〔() Press-Releases 02.11.2000, 06.11.2000, 07.11.2000, 22.10.2000 and 31.10.2000〕 The server-infrastructure was attacked several times and the site had to move to a more secure location.
