That is the answer

By law they have to give you one hour off to vote, but nobody enforces that anymore. Besides the lines may be so long as to take over an hour to get inside the building. But then, there is always absentee voting. They mail you the ballot and you punch it at home and then send it in the mail.

I'll bet over 50% of Americans are so disenfrancised with the election process, that they would sell their ballot for $5. And don't go doing the survey on the forum, because we're well educated, concerned citizens. Besides, if you won't sell it to me, then I'll just steal it from your mailbox (or the local postal center).

And then pass laws where you only have standing to sue about it if you are the attorney general appointed by the winners. (See Nebraska for prior art - I am not making this up.)
