And they should. If it is illegal to pay for 1 vote, how would it not be illegal to pay (by proxy) for multiple votes? When the law was written, there were no influencers, there was no internet. Combine 597 with 594 and I bet a good lawyer can make a case or at the very least the law should be amended to include this modern way of coercion (which it is given the shaming towards certain voters and the average IQ of the people on the internet following complete strangers on the internet for advice) to make it clear for the ones in the back smokin' crack that this is illegal. So although it does not specifically say "thou shalt not pay an internet influencer to spread dis- and misinformation to shame people into voting a certain way", I believe chapter 29 of title 18 gives a path to prosecute with the language therein or AT LEAST trigger regulation.

@Pooky I would agree it should fall under a different statute but unfortunately there is no regulation (yet) on a federal level for this:

 

"Currently, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) does not regulate political advertising online in the same way the agency requires sponsorship disclosures for political advertising on traditional mediums, especially on  television."

Which is why I believe they need to go after them with what they DO have written in law right now, albeit not updated. This BS needs to stop.

doing so would be a very slippery slope.

Legal immigration is not the target. You are here legally and, if you follow the procedures laid out for your visa type, you should have no issues.

All the Supreme Court’s ruling did was clarify what, up until Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Juan Merchan, Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, Arthur Engoron, Letitia James, Jack Smith, et al decided to engage in

Democrats Accuse Trump Of Inciting Further Violence By Not Dying

 

PALM BEACH, FL — In the wake of what appears to be a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Democrats across the country have stepped forward to accuse the Republican presidential candidate of inciting further violence by not dying in either of the two previous assassination attempts.


According to Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat leader of the House, Trump is to blame for the ongoing nature of the violence directed toward him, as he consistently fails to die at the hands of crazed left-wing attempted assassins.  [...]

Kamala Safe And In Stable Condition After Attempted Interview

 

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Americans across the country breathed a sigh of relief this morning following breaking news that Vice President Kamala Harris had survived an attempted interview.


The incident took place late yesterday afternoon during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania when a rogue reporter reportedly approached the vice president and fired off several questions before being tackled to the ground and subdued by Secret Service agents.  Harris was quickly evacuated from the area and taken to a secure location.  [...]

Oh No!  Tim Walz Just Waved So Hard His Arms Flew Off!

 

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Minnesotans were shocked yesterday to find out that their governor lost both of his arms during a rally in which he waved so hard that they flew off and went flying through the air.


According to eyewitnesses at the rally, Walz was using his best laidback country backwoods-boy voice and waving to everyone in sight when his arms strangely dislocated from the rest of his body and flew off, sort of like when one takes the arms off a Lego minifigure and throws them around.  [...]

Hillary Clinton Says First Amendment Is Russian Disinformation

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an interview with Rachel Maddow, former presidential candidate and email server technician Hillary Clinton called for the imprisonment of anyone who spreads misleading information online and accused the First Amendment of being Russian disinformation.


"The First Amendment is just Russian disinformation created to help crooked Donald Trump win the election," Clinton told Maddow.  "I think it's clear Trump is in cahoots with the constitutional amendment in his ever growing march to thwart democracy."  [...]
