i don't understand the tactic of logrolling...what is it exactly?
i also need to know what "voting the graveyards" is.
all help is greatly appreciated

I don't recal hearing any of those terms in my AP class...do you have any more information or possibly other names for those things?

I'm assuming "Voting the Graveyard" may refer to "waving the bloody shirt" and "voting as you shot". After the civil war, Republicans urged the american people to vote "for the party that preserved the Union" and not the Democrats who were considered "the party of secession." THis was used multiple times in the Gilded age by Republican candidates. That's what that is, if that is what you were reffering to. Answer my questions and hopefully I can help you more.

"Voting the graveyard" probably refers to what is usually called the "graveyard vote", where people who are actually dead mysteriously turn up as having cast votes on election day. In some especially corrupt districts, the graveyard is apparently one of the ruling party's biggest strongholds.

Logrolling appears to be another name for legislative horse trading. "I'll give you a vote towards banning gay marriage if you'll help my pork barrel scheme get through."

That sounds more reasonable. Sorry I couldn't be more help, those terms were never referred to in my AP class.
