    Wisconsin state bribery statute. I’m not seeing any wiggle room here. Someone should check this judge’s finances.

      Yeah that’s really clear. You cannot pay $1 or more to make someone go vote regardless of who it’s for.

      Honestly I expected a requirement of it being for a specific candidate, it nope, you cannot pay someone to vote. Except he’s going to and nothing will happen because the American laws mean absolutely nothing.

      At this level it doesn’t even have to be a bribe. I’m sure the judge is aware of stochastic terrorism. They may just want to continue living and be genuinely afraid of what sort of mob twitter could reign down on them.
