Who got paid to vote?

Quote:Downloading the app pays voters $30. Providing 75 names with phone numbers or emails in the app pays $60. Each time users reach out to their friends to early vote, make a plan to vote, or make contact on Election Day, they will get paid in gift cards on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

This is just a giant loophole that attempts to circumvent a current Wisconsin Law. If a user makes a plan to vote, they get money. That's bribery. We'll see if this new Supreme Court upholds the current law, lol. 

Quote:12.11  Election bribery.
(1)  In this section, “anything of value" includes any amount of money, or any object which has utility independent of any political message it contains and the value of which exceeds $1. The prohibitions of this section apply to the distribution of material printed at public expense and available for free distribution if such materials are accompanied by a political message.
(1m) Any person who does any of the following violates this chapter:
(a) Offers, gives, lends or promises to give or lend, or endeavors to procure, anything of value, or any office or employment or any privilege or immunity to, or for, any elector, or to or for any other person, in order to induce any elector to:
1. Go to or refrain from going to the polls.
2. Vote or refrain from voting.
3. Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular person.
4. Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular referendum; or on account of any elector having done any of the above.

Whatcha got, [BLEEP]? This isn't normal. It's not something we've ALWAYS done. It's bribery, and they were VERY clear about the candidate people should be voting for.

The Wisconsin law is obviously very strict.
And the new app and its payments are definitely something new and abnormal.
That said, as long as the app user doesn't offer anything of value as they encourage their contacts to vote, neither the app nor the user of the app are breaking the law.
But obviously it would be tempting for folks to offer to pass on some of the app payments to their contacts, making the thing not just an election law violation but also a pyramid scheme.

The case never should have been brought.  The pardon is a good thing.  
This is a good example of why open carry should be very, very limited, legally.

It does point up one problem with open carry, because in this case, as I understand it, both parties were legally carrying a firearm, and the trial came down to who pointed their gun at the other one first.

I saw this poll on Twitter and figure I'd share it.. Normally when I see these polls, I just keep scrolling, not really caring. But this one kinda stopped me in my tracks. Something else that made me even more curious is that the poll currently has over 40k votes.

Spoiler alert:

The current count is 78% to 22% for 'Yes'..

I'd like to hear opinions from our resident military and ex-military on this one. How does the results of this poll make you feel? If ordered, would you?

Not trying to start any arguments or trying to be disrespectful, just genuinely curious.

The US military fired on US citizens in the Civil War.  Not just during the NY draft riots, I mean all the major battles were between US citizens.  So it has been done in the past.

You're being pedantic, Marty. That is not the thrust of the poll, at all. 

These polls are stupid because they're conducted and responded to mostly by people who have no idea how the military operates. It's nothing more than another division tactic. You would do yourself and everyone else a favor by ignoring it.
Eh, you say that, but it's pretty much been scientifically proven that you can get normal people to do all kinds of stuff they normally wouldn't. Other someone, then justify the need to harm them by an authority figure (for their own good or the good of X). Very few people will say know. So, truth be told, I think the military has always been capable of firing on its own citizens... we just didn't have a climate that supported that.
