Earlier quoted context omitted.

Musk is running a similar program for people in swing states, paying them $47 to refer potential Trump voters. If he doesn't pay, or pays selectively, he's violating various campaign finance laws.

Isn’t it flat illegal to pay people to vote? Otherwise Trump or Harris could just… directly bribe people to vote for them through a cutout.

It's not if its a superPAC, apparently.

He's not paying people to vote. He's paying people to register to vote.

You might want to go look it up before making a bunch of assumptions based only on the name. Sure, you might feel a bit silly after, but hopefully you can have a good laugh over it.

Gosh, you have gone pretty far down into the kool-aid.

Cards Against Humanity is a card game, it was a Kickstarter in 2011. The name is a joke with "crimes against humanity", it's a politically incorrect game where you complete sentences from a card with the sentences/words you have in the cards on your hand.

You've created a whole 5 paragraphs strawman out of the name of a game...

Please, reconsider the stuff you read, you're deeply chronically online. And I don't mean this to put you down, it's just that the vicious way you went into a tirade against a creation of your own mind is concerning.

It's a game. the rules are here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cah/CAH_Rules.pdf I'm personally playing the "god is dead" rule with my friends. I don't care about the US elections but this is a really fine game. [edit] i know it's bad etiquette to comment on votes, but parent's question seems legitimate and can have usefull answers, it doesn't deserve downvotes imho.

Thanks. Not sure why some people were so triggered by the question. Never heard of this game before. If we can't ask questions about what we don't know, and if you're not willing to share what you know, what kind of place is this?

It seems some people are surprised that they were able to buy data on who voted and how they lean. I wasn't surprised because I worked on a campaign before. It's ridiculous how much information you can get about voters for not a lot of money. You can get their phone number and email address that they provided with their voter registration, and the do not call list does not even apply (nor the do not spam list). You c…

Some political campaigns are relentless. I was able to get a local city council candidate’s campaign to stop calling me but I had to threaten to run against their candidate in the next election. Haven’t heard from them since, YMMV.
