Buy My Vote On Ebay
Anyone caught that story about a 19 year old college student that decided to sell his vote on Ebay? That is a felony, and charges will be brought up soon.

I actually saw it last night! What an idiot! It was like for $10 or something like that. Obviously, he didn't know much about voting--his little prank is going to cost him.
*ps*
I had to go and check out the article again because I wasn't sure of all the details. Here is a portion of it talking about the charges and consequences.

A college student claimed it was all a joke when he put his vote in this fall's presidential election up for sale on the Web auction site eBay. But prosecutors didn't see the humor. (ABC News/AP )University of Minnesota student Max P. Sanders, 19, was charged with a felony Thursday in Hennepin County District Court after allegedly asking for a minimum of $10 in exchange for voting for the bidder's preferred candidate. "Good luck!" Sanders wrote under the eBay handle zepdrummer612. "You're (sic) country depends on You!" Sanders was charged with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting under an 1893 state law that makes it a crime to offer to buy or sell a vote. The charge carries up to five years' imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. |
I bet he doesn't think it is so much a joke anymore!

Apparently his parents have not received their monies worth out of his education. He would probably crack a joke about a bomb while going through security at the airport too.
