If the election system does not change my vote is for sale.

In both CA & OR, when we lived in them, starting in the 70’s, restaurants were suddenly forced to stop offering a free CUP OF COFFEE to customers for showing the waitress an “I voted” sticker: THAT was legally interpreted as offering ‘an illegal inducement to vote”!
Same applies here, in South Dakota.

I don't doubt your veracity - but I am astounded by that statement!

What about an employer saying that his employees can take the morning off - but only if they return in the afternoon with a "I voted" sticker? That should be legal (and even meritorious)!

$25 to $500 to vote for a particular candidate?
Wow, they use to sell their vote for a glass of whiskey.
