Two tickets to this show are offered on eBay for $250 each.

This might have some bearing on the case law and elements of the Class D felony.

I don't think this would be vote buying based on the Indiana cases I've browsed as there isn't a “contract” relating to the election. Consideration (Think Sports trades - IE Team A trades John Doe to team B for future considerations) for a vote isn't there, just a strong influence. Feds may be different. 18 U.S.C.A. § 597, but “Consideration” is the key word.

I think the campaign finance sections need a closer look however. One doesn't have to be as blatant of an “influencer” to get nailed there due to the zillions of technicalities involved in that convoluted monstrosity.
