Surely this isn’t legal. You can’t even sell your vote.

I'm guessing it's perfectly legal. I'm not aware of any laws regulating party conventions.

I’m thinking the same thing. Super Delegate votes can’t legally be sold, can they?

It would be REALLY sad if this were illegal. The government already has its nose in political parties too much as it is...they should be left on their own to make their own decisions who to nominate, and it really shouldn't require a party at all, anyway. That is, the parties shouldn't be given such strong pseudo-official status as it is--they are merely private assemblies of people who decide to work together on supporting a single cadidate via a slate of electors.
