This wouldn't work, there's an obvious loophole:
1. Commit crimes to get elected.
2. If you're caught and sent to prison, offer your supporters campaign money and political favors to vote for you.
3. Once elected, use the powers of your office to pardon yourself, reward your followers, and jail your opponents.
You could do something like: offer your billionaire friends control over government agencies that regulate their industries, and in return they could run sweepstakes where they offer your voters a chance to win $1M if they vote for you.
