I think theyre very wrong, but a lot of people do think that.
And, if political candidates were caught trying to buy those miniscule number of votes from a police sting operation were sent to prison...well, they tend to stop doing that. Benefit too low, risk too high.
Historically vote buying has tended to be widespread when it is officially tolerated (e.g. in the 19th century) and then it disappears entirely even when the police only half-heartedly crack down on it.
