I'm not suggesting that anyone here do something funny with the vote buying sweepstakes petition from King Bazinga. : chapotraphouse

Why yes, my name is Dr. Jimothy Pennis. I pledge to vote for Donald Trump in exchange for money.

I signed it with a burner e-mail account. I don't expect to ever see the money ($47 or if you're in PA $100).

But lets say I win the million doll hairs, what's the best and funniest thing I could do with the money?

I bet we could get Grok to do it

The page looks simple enough, probably could script a bunch of random fake people into the list with random but valid addresses. Who knows if they have any kind of bot protection though.

Is this actually vote buying?

I'm discussing this with some libs and they are frothing about the legality of this. I'm trying to understand the correlation between signing a fake petition and selling your vote...

EDIT: The illegal part is paying people to get registered. I just realized i was kind of overlooking that aspect.

They're going to check it against a list of registered voters and throw out any BS entries. You're wasting your time, it's trivial to filter the list.

edit: and yea they get your voting history too so you and I are not winning the Million dollars and probably won't get paid at all.
