    Put him behind bars for that and I start believing that the government takes this vote seriously.

      I’m going to lower the bar:

      If the government issues any sort of indictment in the next 3 weeks, I’ll agree that they are taking it seriously. Even without bail.

      It’s not actually illegal. He is paying a lottery to people who register to vote. Similarly, Cards Against Humanity is paying people who didn’t vote last election to make a voting plan.

      It’s illegal to pay someone to vote regardless of if it’s for a side. Neither instance goes far enough to be considered against the law as written. Cards Against Humanity states that it shouldn’t be and it’s fucked up that it is.

        You need to really read what CAH says… it’s only paying you to apologize, make a plan to vote and post a comment about Trump on social media. Nome of that goes as far as this lottery.
