    Oh, it’s worse

    Copy/pasted quotes from the site.

    Do you know people who don’t vote?

    It’s time for you to tell us who they are, especially if they’re in Wisconsin, Michigan, >Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, or Georgia. Don’t worry, we’ll just send one >friendly email about how they can get paid to apologize.

    So, you know, fuck them right in the ass for that.

    But, there’s this:

    Who qualifies to get paid?

    Any eligible voter who didn’t vote last time qualifies. But only blue-leaning people in swing states will get a BIG payment. (italics for emphasis mine).

    Idgaf what they put in their tos, this shit will be what gets focussed on.

    Maybe they skate by on a weak loophole, maybe they don’t. But it’s fucking stupid, and it’s dangerous when there’s already going to be a “voting fraud” storm of bullshit if trump loses.

    This entire publicity gimmick is beyond stupid, and if it backfires, it’s going to be the rest of us that pay the price

      You seem to have missed the context that this is a counter protest to multiple similar schemes on the republican side including one by Elon Musk thay they specifically mention. It’s meant to make you think ‘wait this is illegal, right?’.

        I didn’t miss anything.

        It’s a horrible idea, and it isn’t going to do a damn thing to counter anything the Republicans or musk do.

          They are very clearly angling to make it illegal in the medium/long term. You might be familiar with similar efforts by the Satanic Temple. You take what the other side are doing to the logical extreme or would make the average person think “that’s very weird” and ask “is this OK? Gonna do something about it?”.
