"Buy My Vote!!!"



Some kid in Minnesota offered to sell his vote on ebay. This actually might have been a good idea, since Minnesota is a swing state and the candidates are spending the most money for any presidential campaign ever.

The only problem is that it is illegal (d'uh)..... Furthermore, it is a felony (which is kinda crazy). [Note: Felony essentially denotes a harsh crime punishable by more than a year in prison. Like most things in the law, there really is no good definition]. The next question, however, should be: Are felons allowed to vote in Minnesota? So in selling his vote, not only did this kid get arrested and have to pay legal expenses, but he lost his right to vote. Oops!!!
