Methuselah A has 1 pool.
Methuselah B has 2 pool.

Methuselah A's minion calls a Kine Resources Contested, allocating one point
to himself and 3 points to his prey, Methuselah B, who has no votes on the
table, nor any in his hand. Methuselah A plays a bribes, gaining one pool
immediately. The vote passes, and Methuselah B must burn three pool, and is
ousted. Methuselah A is triumphant.

The question is whether or not the KRC is a legal play, since the total pool
on the table is 3, and the number of points allocated is 4. Methuselah B
argued that since there are not 4 pool on the table, KRC does not have
enough legal targets to be played. I argued (and ruled) that KRC doesn't
count pool, it counts points, and there is no limit on the number of points
given to a Metheuselah (other than the limits imposed by the card), and the
number of points only matters when the vote is resolved. Was my ruling
correct?

Sounds good and all.

You are correct. KRC allocates points and does not count (or target) pool.
Similarly, you can bleed someone for 10 even if they have only 1 pool.

Correct.
