Buy My Vote!!!

Buy My Vote!!! Obviously a statement or joke, this could spell trouble for the involved party. I had the original URLs for eBay, but can't seem to find them now :-(

The same concept will be available on a much larger scale. That is, of course, assuming that VoteAuction.com actually goes online with their site.

The unbelievable part, to me, is the report that bidding is up to $10,000 for one guy's vote!

Bogus sale, bogus bid (most likely, but you never can tell these days).

It's already been deleted. But there's already a couple copycats (other than the one mentioned in the article) if you're looking for a 2000 vote for your vote collection.

voteauction.com is high farce and it would be funny if it wasn't so close to the way things work...

Ha! This is old, but I just realized that the person who did this is a grad student at my school... *cue little dancing mannequins and tinny-sounding recording: "it's' a small world after all..."*
