This has always been one of my favorite questions to think about.

If votes could be legally sold how much would it cost to buy the US Presidential election?

With the lax finance laws we have I’m guessing China could install a regime that would actively help them take Taiwan for less than ten billion, to give one example. It would be cheaper to buy the whole US military than build one aircraft carrier.

It’s why this or anything like it should be very illegal and why Citizens United is a threat to US national security.
