Hm. Not that this is a bad idea, but I’m really surprised by this, as it’s kinda illegal.
18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

LII / Legal Information Institute
Except they were careful and never actually said “we will give you money to vote for Harris/against Trump”. Paying you to call him a human toilet isn’t against that law.

But the law also includes this language:

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote… or to vote for…

I take that to mean to put someone to vote, or to vote for someone. And in this case, CAH is definitely paying people to vote.

Legally speaking they’re not paying people to vote, only to do voting-adjacent tasks which is legal

The Register went into the more detail on the legality of it all

Cards Against Humanity campaigns to encourage voting, expose personal data abuse

Up to $100 for planning to vote and a public smear – how is this not illegal?

Thank you. Im glad to be wrong, and it’s good to see someone dissecting this issue.
