    Note the “in general” part (paying them to vote in the way they want to)

      Note that it’s still illegal to pay someone to vote, full stop. Does not matter if you’re not telling them specifically who to vote for.

              No, I did, and then you tried to correct me, and then realized you were still wrong so you pivoted to this.

              Regardless, the federal government disagrees heavily with your assessment that it’s fine to pay someone to vote. Hence why that’s not what’s actually happening here.
