    You could very easily take a photo to show proof of who you voted for in order to get paid. Plus, voting records aren’t 100% private.

    Legally, the argument that he’s specifically trying to pay people to vote for Trump would get thrown out of court.

    I would personally argue that Trump is very much opposed to, or in favor of restrictions to, the first and second amendments (as is Musk) while Harris intends to uphold them. So, from my perspective, I see this as enticement to vote for Harris.

      No I don’t think you could take a picture of your ballet in the 19th century when it was ruled illegal. So if it was illegal when the exchange was entirely faith based, how are reasoning pictures changes anything? That’s not why the law was created and this exchange can absolutely be considered vote buying
