PT A rogue Web site purporting to sell votes for the upcoming U.S. presidential election is back in operation after being shut down last week under a federal court order. It's encouraging U.S. citizens to break the law.
Uncommitted voters can sell their votes to the Web site.
The votes are then auctioned to the highest bidder, who decides which presidential candidate gets them. About 1,131 Illinois voters have participated in this questionable practice, according to the Web site. Selling votes carries a maximum three-year federal prison term. It is unclear whether the votes being auctioned are legitimate. But with the balance of the presidential election hanging on a thin margin, the authorities aren't taking any chances.
