Depends on if the offer is applied to me or if it's applied to everyone else.

If the offer is offered to only me, it would be the dumbest decision anyone has ever made since our solar system swirled into motion if I didn't take a lump sum of money for my vote.

I'd sell my vote for +100% scaled income. So if I make 1,000 now I will make 2,000. If I make 10,000 next year I make 20,000, etc.

Or I would take $500,000 lump sum.

Now if this was open to anyone who wanted in, I would be against it because all of the poor people would do it and then the richie people would win the elections. But if it was only offered to me, I can't help but say anyone that has a head would take the offer. 1 vote <I>does not matter</I> in a nation with 300,000,000 people, even if only a portion vote. There's no way it will ever matter either. No election will ever be on the verge of 1 vote either way.
