discuss. I think the seller should be banned from ebay and then imprisoned.

1. The problem is
...under California Law it is legal to buy someone's vote as long as the election is NOT at the Federal level.

I don't know where to find this, but I was watching CNN and I heard this about 3 weeks ago.

Buying and selling votes is illegal everywhere in the US. Here's an article from '00 about a parody vote auction site. CA Secretary of State is quoted to the effect that he will prosecute anybody trying to sell votes; no exceptions for non-federal elections mentioned:

Ditto, with CA code sections:
