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 pay someone to vote, or to vote for someone. And in this case, CAH is definitely paying people to vote.

The reward is specifically for people to come up with a plan on how they would vote. The reward isn't technically contingent on someone acting on that plan.

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

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

They're paying people to apologize for not voting last time. What that means is up for the reader. Not the same.
