I will absolutely share this around after checking it out myself, but what is a good response for the inevitable "they're bribing people to vote"?

Federal law prohibits anyone from knowingly or willfully paying or offering to pay or accepting payment for registering to vote or voting (42 USC § 1973i(c)). It applies to primaries and elections that have candidates on the ballot for the office of president, vice president, presidential elector, or member of Congress, whether or not the violation alleges payment related to a candidate for one of those particular offices. It includes criminal penalties for violations. - https://www.cga.ct.gov/2001/rpt/2001-R-0132.htm

It sucks when Elon does this shit just as much as when someone does it for your team, guys.

They're not paying you to vote, they're paying for you to apologize. I'm sure they have sufficient legal backing.

Can they target the electoral college since they're the ones that overturned the popular vote in the first place???

I know this is a response to musk's bullshit, but this makes it sound like trump won the popular vote in 2016. He did not.

[-] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Nowhere do they actually require anyone to vote or to vote a specific way

They're paying people to apologize for not voting in 2020, which does not include them voting in the next election.

Since it's targeting people who don't give a fuck, is it called "cash for fucks?"
