you weren't supposed to give people money to register to vote or promising to vote or anything like that

It's also incredibly stupid. You have no way of tracking who someone votes for once they're in the booth. If I was in a swing state I'd be happy to take musk's cash and vote for Harris like I was always going to do.

This is why it's (sort of?) legal to do what they're doing: paying for someone to vote a specific way is illegal for sure. And paying someone to vote is also illegal. But I believe that ~~paying someone to REGISTER to vote is legal so long as you do not actively restrict who can participate.~~ It's also okay to pay someone to write down a plan on HOW to vote, and to pay someone to write shit on the internet.

So yeah. It's very borderline. ~~But I think it technically passes muster~~

Nope, I was wrong. Paying people to register is still illegal
