The progressive card game company is paying new voters who come up with plans and disparage Donald Trump online.

The company behind the game Cards Against Humanity is aiming to one-up Elon Musk with its plan to pay blue-leaning swing-state residents who make voting plans and agree to publicly condemn Donald Trump.

The company announced an initiative Tuesday to encourage people who didn’t vote in 2020 to go to the polls this year by handing out up to $100.

On a website created by the game company, eligible voters are asked to provide their personal information, which is then checked against voter data that the company said it bought from a data broker. “You wouldn’t believe how easy it was for us to get this stuff,” the website said.

If eligible voters didn’t vote in 2020, Cards Against Humanity offers them a payout, provided they write apologies for not having voted four years ago, create voting plans and publicly post “Donald Trump is a human toilet.” If the voters lean blue and live in swing states, they can earn more money.

According to the website, over 1,700 eligible voters have already participated.

      No, not even them, but the GOP is actively doing it, and if they win this election it will never stop.

      This is what “fight fire with fire” means. You use the same tools as your enemy, or you lose.

      if you’re going to risk federal charges i think you should probably do it in service of something a little more substantial than a lukewarm voting drive. especially when everyone you convince to participate is ostensibly on “your side” and they will also be risking federal charges.

      too many people praising this think clever wording and specific language is like iron-clad armor against a judge saying “no fuck you, your intent was clearly to break or circumvent the law. go to jail/pay this fine”. that only works for the rich.
