Offer of a Vote for Sale Draws Unwanted Attention
7/6/2008 8:56 AM
So what's the difference between selling on eBay.....and being bribed by handouts?


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.

Mr. Sanders, whose auction was halted before anyone bid, declined to comment. He is studying liberal arts at the University of Minnesota.




Liberal Arts Major. OK. A little tip for young Max......if you're gonna' engage in activities like the one mentioned in the article.......switch to Business. Or Marketing. :wink:

Max's Mom and Dad.......you might wanna' re-think the value of that college education you're payin' for.
