Comment on If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win?

  when votes are anonymous you can just not give a fuck about what they paid you to vote, you can take as many bribes as you want and vote for yourself regardless, thus people don’t really bother buying votes.

    Musk literally bought peoples votes…there are plenty of people who have no morals and absolutely would vote how they’re paid.

      we can’t really know that… musk paid people to vote, but we and he have no idea if people actually voted how he wanted

      i’d say selection bias (people willing to engage) played more of a part than actually telling people how to vote

  You can pay someone to vote a specific way, but with the current system, there doesn’t exist a way for you to verify that they actually voted how you told them to.
