    If you have a proper secret vote, then getting paid cash to vote is not a problem. The election judges just need to tell everyone that it is perfectly moral (a stronger case than just legal) to vote for something and collect the cash for voting against.

      It is a secret vote. It’s up to the voter to keep it secret.

      And also, how is getting paid cash to vote not a problem? It’s quite clearly voter manipulation. Are you Russian?

        He’s saying the hard counter is to tell people the vote is secret. They can vote their way and then tell the person offering cash anything they want to tell them. They are under no moral obligation to tell such criminals the truth.

        Elon Musk is finding this out in Arizona and Pennsylvania right now and it’s hilarious.
