What would it take to get your vote?
My friend, Karen Swim is offering cake if you vote for her in the upcoming presidential election and she's already got a groundswell of support.
As she says, sugar is a great bargaining tool. Plus, Karen is worth voting for, even without cake.
Didn't know Karen Swim was a candidate? Well, check out the official Channel 3 News video below. But first, how about the enterprising Minnesota teen who put his vote up for sale on eBay?
Sanders was charged with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting under an 1893 state law that makes it a crime to offer to buy or sell a vote.
He said it was a joke, but that didn't wash with the authorities.
Why settle for selling one vote, when with a few bakeoffs you could be president? Watch the video and find out how you could be a presidential candidate too.
Now, back to that cake. Thanks Karen. :)

Hi Yvonne! ROFL! Thank you for the kind words and the clever post. I love it! I wonder if everyone knows that buying and selling votes is a crime. If word gets out we may actually have to resort to good old fashioned democracy in the U.S. LOL! Would you like more cake? :-)
