      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.

        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.

      At this level it doesn’t even have to be a bribe. I’m sure the judge is aware of stochastic terrorism. They may just want to continue living and be genuinely afraid of what sort of mob twitter could reign down on them.
