In other words, Wisconsin's anti-vote-buying laws are unenforceable and vote buying is perfectly legal in Wisconsin.

So I guess if you're looking to score a few extra bucks when the next election comes around, just put up your vote on Ebay and let the politicians bid on it.

Ah well that's vote selling, something poor people do, and highly illegal.

Why does this worthless article say fuck-all about the court's reasoning?
