MINNEAPOLIS — A University of Minnesota 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 in the stunt.

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.

Being from Minneapolis, he's probably a stinkin' Lib'ral. The metro area is rife with rampant liberalism. The suburbs are not quite so bad.

I'm pretty sure it says somewhere on the federal Voter Registration form that THIS IS ILLEGAL.

F'n retard. :whatever:

Not much difference from what the Democratics have been doing for years;

Vote for me and I'll;

Get you health insurance,
More welfare,
More SS,
Etc,

And I'll do it using OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY!
