Okay, what if some American rich person promised to give $1m to people to vote for the candidate that he was supporting.

Money for votes is the issue I have, regardless of the hypothetical.

That is already illegal under US law. I suppose a foreigner buying votes would likewise be illegal.

In any event I agree with you that buying votes is a perversion of democracy and should not be allowed.

Plenty of ways around it. Look at Musk's bullshit $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes.
