Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game!

Rules: -Play nicely with others here.

-Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.

-Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

This is why it's (sort of?) legal to do what they're doing: paying for someone to vote a specific way is illegal for sure. And paying someone to vote is also illegal. But I believe that ~~paying someone to REGISTER to vote is legal so long as you do not actively restrict who can participate.~~ It's also okay to pay someone to write down a plan on HOW to vote, and to pay someone to write shit on the internet.

So yeah. It's very borderline. ~~But I think it technically passes muster~~

Nope, I was wrong. Paying people to register is still illegal
