Comment on Can one of the math addicts of lemmy.world calculate how much it would cost to give every adult in the US 5k for voting Republican? Also who is going to pay for it? My guess taxpayers.

How'd they propose to verify it anyway?
Do you take a photo of your ballot and send it in - or is voting not anonymous in USA?!

I guess they could pay every resident of a county that ends up R or whatever.

Realistically I'd think all the Rs have to do is say they're going to do it anyway - some dumbfucks may believe, vote and forget for next time that it was an empty promise. Seems like a decent strategy for them.
