because people and npc are inherently different and people will interact with npc differently than with other people. npc do not do things to advance an agenda.
if the idea is to bribe a noble, then bribe a noble. don't need new mechanism for that.
if the idea is to bribe some faceless npc to change how someone else vote, then it would be best not to show too much info for elections, like who got how many votes.
just seems to be complexities that is just unnecessary
mind you, how many people actually pay out gold to bribe elections already? oddly enough, i suspect it'll happen a lot more if there's an ingame function to do it via npc. because clicking links is "better" than writing a letter.
you don't have to anticipate what the other player will do. click a link, if it fails, it fails. big deal.
the random thing to random noble will basically go down the same route as investigation. people inherently trust anything that's in the form of a copy/pasted message.
