Student Charged with Felony for Selling Vote on eBay

Friday, August 1st, 2008
The University of Minnesota student who offered to sell his vote for president on eBay has been sentenced to 50 hours of community service.The charge against 19-year-old Max Sanders of Edina will be dismissed if he completes the service within six months, the Hennepin County attorney’s office said Tuesday.

I find it interesting that a college student gets slapped with a felony charge for trying to sell his vote on eBay, but when a politician sells his vote for campaign money he gets reelected.
