Mpls. teen charged with offering his vote on eBay

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A 19-year-old Minneapolis man is charged with a felony for offering to sell his vote in the presidential election on eBay. The Hennepin County attorney's office charged Max P. Sanders on Thursday. Sanders was not immediately arrested. A telephone number for him was not available. The criminal complaint says the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office learned about the offering on the Web auction site and told prosecutors.

See the article for the full story. I myself am wondering what he was charged with, as in the actual charge.

Yes, but I thought there would be even something stiffer than that as the original charge, being it was on the internet, and he was also "selling" his vote.

Regardless, it's still against the law. After I posted this thread, I heard he could face 5 years in prison, but is likely he'll only get 1 year probabtion. This was on the radio at work.
