Well... I Am Surprised That It Needs To Be Debated: Running A $1 Million A Day Raffle -- To Create Calling/Contact Lists, For Voting... Violates 52 USC § 10307(c).

This "pay to register to vote" scheme clearly violates 52 USC § 10307(c) [see page 38, et seq. there] -- and that's a five year felony.

It seems we live in an Orwellian world where between Tangerine and Musk, they've decided that they can go "buy the votes they want, in swing states". Damn. Here's a bit from Reuters, this morning:

. . .To be eligible for the $1 million, petition signers must be a registered voter and live in one of the seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the America PAC website.

The petition also offers $100 to each registered Pennsylvania voter who signs and $100 for referring a registered Pennsylvania voter to sign.

The legality of the giveaways is sure to come under scrutiny in the coming days.

It is a federal crime to pay people with the intention of inducing or rewarding them to cast a vote or to get registered, an offense punishable by prison time. The prohibition covers not only monetary expenditures, but also anything of monetary value like liquor or lottery chances, a Justice Department election-crimes manual says. . . .

There is only one way to put this insanity to bed: we must vote these corrupt but wealthy burping-jokers down, in overwhelming numbers, nationwide, on Tuesday November 5, 2024.

Quoth the DoJ: . . .Cases arising under this statute that involve corruption of the process by which individuals register, as distinguished from the circumstances under which they vote, present a different federal jurisdictional issue that is easily satisfied.

This is because voter registration in every state is “unitary” in the sense that one registers to vote only once in order to become eligible to vote for all candidates on the ballot -- local, state, and federal. Although a state could choose to maintain separate registration lists for federal and non-federal elections, at the time this book was written, no state had chosen to do so.

Consequently, any corrupt act that affects the voter registration process and that can be reached under § 10307(c) satisfies this federal jurisdictional requirement. An excellent discussion of this issue is contained in United States v. Cianciulli, 482 F. Supp. 585, 617–18 (E.D. Pa. 1979). . . .

Onward.
