Is It a Bribe to Offer a Superdelegate $1 Million Toward a Program Supported by that Delegate in Exchange for a Vote for a Presidential Candidate at the Convention?

We don’t know whether the allegation is true. If it is true, Jan Baran says: “”This is not an FEC issue…There are federal and state laws that bar ‘vote buying’ but I’m not sure they apply in this situation since this involves a convention delegate and not a voter in an election. In short, I don’t know whether this is illegal or just hardnosed political horse-trading.” Fascinating.
