    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
