Up to $100 for planning to vote and a public smear – how is this not illegal?
The troublemakers behind the party game Cards Against Humanity have launched a campaign demonstrating how easy it is to buy sensitive personal data about American voters, while simultaneously encouraging those Americans to plan how to cast a vote in the upcoming presidential election.uses US citizens' personal data obtained from a broker to identify whether individuals voted in the 2020 US presidential election and how they lean politically.
Super PACs, for those lucky enough not to be subject to the US electoral system, are tax-exempt organizations allowed to raise unlimited funds to spend on political campaigns, often without having to disclose the source of donations. The only restriction on Super PAC activity is that they can't coordinate with candidates or political parties.
"Cards Against Humanity is exploiting a legal loophole," the org explains."This whole thing should probably be illegal – so quick, give us your money before they change the law!"it couldn't comment on specific cases like this one, and we were unable to connect with a campaign finance expert despite reaching out to several.
CAH's campaign is clearly not paying for votes. We asked the org to explain its legal position, but have not received a reply at the time of publication.
