Man caught trying to sell vote on eBay

James Pengov thought selling his vote would help get him out of debt. Instead it landed him in trouble with the law. ... "Up for auction is MY VOTE!," said Pengov's Aug. 19 posting on the online marketplace....Simply tell me who to vote for, after paying the auction, and it will be so. If you care, buy my vote and you will have twice the power in the upcoming election!!!!"
