    Nothing wrong with paying people to vote in general

    It’s literally illegal.

      Note the “in general” part (paying them to vote in the way they want to)

        Note that it’s still illegal to pay someone to vote, full stop. Does not matter if you’re not telling them specifically who to vote for.

              Literally at no point in any of this comment chain have I mentioned legality

                No, I did, and then you tried to correct me, and then realized you were still wrong so you pivoted to this.

                Regardless, the federal government disagrees heavily with your assessment that it’s fine to pay someone to vote. Hence why that’s not what’s actually happening here.
