    Yeah that’s really clear. You cannot pay $1 or more to make someone go vote regardless of who it’s for.

    Honestly I expected a requirement of it being for a specific candidate, it nope, you cannot pay someone to vote. Except he’s going to and nothing will happen because the American laws mean absolutely nothing.

      He’s in the class of people protected by the law but not bound by it, and we’re in the class of people bound by the law but not protected by it.

      It is a violation of the statute to even offer to pay someone to vote or not vote. He doesn’t even need to actually pay them.

      I think you meant American laws mean nothing once you’ve achieved a high enough level of wealth… the rest of us out here certainly get punished for violations.
