In the era of apps for everything, it's logical there would be a digital scheme pitched to Republicans in a quandary over next week's presidential election.

Trump Traders targets voters who plan to vote for third-party candidates in the critical swing states of Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio, according to McClatchy news service.

Created by Republicans for Clinton, Trump Traders can be thought of as similar to an online dating service such as Tinder, but focused on vote-swapping.

The idea is to match Clinton supporters in states where she is likely to win, such as California, with third-party voters in swing states, such as a North Carolina resident planning to vote for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Under Trump Traders, these two people would pledge to trade their votes, McClatchy reported.

Vote-trading was tried in the 2000 election when the internet was less of a factor but did not change the outcome, according to the New York Times.

Potential Trump Traders are encouraged to find a vote-swap partner through the #NeverTrump app.
