Hm. Not that this is a bad idea, but I’m really surprised by this, as it’s kinda illegal.
- Except they were careful and never actually said "we will give you money to vote for Harris/against Trump". Paying you to call him a human toilet isn't against that law.
  
  But the law also includes this language:
  
  Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote… or to vote for…
  
  I take that to mean to pay someone to vote, or to vote for someone. And in this case, CAH is definitely paying people to vote.
- They were very careful in how they worded the request. They are not asking for people to change their voting behavior, only to create a plan, and to make some public statements.
  
  Obviously, the latter part is fine but the voting plan doesn't require that someone actually change their behavior. They are definitely skirting the line, but I'm sure they had the help of a lawyer when they made this.
  
  We're trying to pay tens of thousands of swing-state non-voters… enough to actually swing the election.
  
  I think their intentions here is what is most damning.
- I think that's the point? This is a direct response to musk is it not?
- Elon musk does it nobody bats an eye lol
  
  I mean no surprises coming from Lemmy world the neolib fediverse factory
- Cards Against America
  
  EDIT: Realized I sounded like a nutjob
  
  Cards For America
Proof that it works!
- Yeah, I got $13 even though I voted in 2020.
  
  When I did mine it was a max of $10—the politics pack must be selling really well!
