They “warned him” with a letter…
Moderates aren’t enough to fight fascism, they won’t put the effort in because they’re more concerned with stopping progressives.
If we got rid of the fascists, there wouldn’t be a reason to hold our nose and vote for a moderate.
It’s ridiculous. I’ve seen all these political/legal pundits coming out saying “It’s probably not going to go to court, but it toes the line!”
No, fuck that. If you promise someone money, or even the chance of money, to vote or pledge support for a candidate, that’s compromising the democratic process. And if that’s somehow not illegal, it should be made illegal without question.
They’re basically saying “Hey, you can stand outside polling stations and offer free scratch tickets to people who take a picture of their vote for Trump, and that’s not illegal because it’s not a guarantee of reward.”
Not to mention this is essentially the same line of reasoning Repubs keep using to make voting worse for everyone. Can’t give out water in line to vote because you might be “buying votes”, so you gotta wait in line 6 hours in the hot sun if you’re in a poor district.
But hey, totally cool when it’s ol Musky doin it for cash not for health!
Guessing he won’t be prosecuted because iT WouLd bE DiViSiVE

Hasen first covered the issue on his blog last Saturday, where he cited 52 U.S.C. 10307©, the federal law that prohibits paying someone or accepting payment “either for registration to vote or for voting.” The penalty is $10,000 or up to five years in prison or both.
i wonder which of those penalties he’ll be getting
