Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game!
Rules: -Play nicely with others here.
-Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
-Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

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
