Sanders told the investigator that it was just a joke, now his facing charged with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting, a felony under an 1893 Minnesota law that makes it a crime to offer to buy or sell a vote. The scarcely used law in the 1920’s, when people sold their votes in exchange for liquor.

California Secretary of State’s office discovered the posting and report to Minnesota’s office. Then office notified the Hennepin County attorney, who contact eBay to find out Sander’s identity. The 19-year old student is now facing a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. The moral lesson here is that “Don’t sell your vote!”.
