MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota college student looking to profit off his political indifference has been charged with a felony for trying to sell his vote on the auction Web site eBay.
The student, Max P. Sanders, 19, of Edina, was charged Thursday with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting, a felony under an 1893 Minnesota law that criminalizes the sale and purchase of votes.
In May Mr. Sanders set a minimum bid of $10 for his vote this November and offered to provide photographic documentation inside the booth.
Mr. Sanders, whose auction was halted before anyone bid, declined to comment. He is studying liberal arts at the University of Minnesota.

you know it
this guy is one of millions of voters. The delegate is one of a thousand. How is the first guy commiting a crime and being punished and not the latter. Not much different then the pac groups. Politicians sell their vote, soul , family anything to get ahead.
I'm sure
the irs would be at the booth as he came out for their cut.
Gasp... We cant let this
Gasp... We cant let this happen. We have to protect the integrity of our great electoral system...
Funny how they totally go after this kid for making a mockery of their system but refuse to address ballot security. What a bunch of hypocritical wastiods.

Ain't that the truth..

Who doesn't know this sort of thing is illegal?
Besides, it's much easier to get dead people or illegals to vote, than to buy votes.
