Cards Against Humanity to pay swing-state non-voters to make a plan to vote
Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is jumping into the 2024 White House election by offering to pay blue-leaning non-voters in swing states to create a plan to vote.
The company behind the popular card game rolled out a website on Tuesday to encourage people who did not cast ballots in the 2020 election to vote this November. They are looking to pay some battleground state voters up to $100. The payment could be received if the eligible voter writes an apology for not casting a ballot in 2020, makes a voting plan and posts "Donald Trump is a human toilet" on social media.
The company is also selling a $7.99 card game pack inspired by the 2024 general election contest. It said the money would go to its Super PAC, dubbed "Cards Against Humanity PAC." The outside group was registered on Aug. 5, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings.
Prospective voters around the country can get the payment, but the largest payout would be given to residents of 7 swing-states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the company.
Cards Against Humanity said that 1767 non-voters have "apologized" so far. Participants don't need to provide proof of voting, according to the terms. The card's website said it is "exploiting a legal loophole."
The voting initiative comes just days after tech billionaire Elon Musk-funded Super PAC, America PAC, started asking Americans to sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments and then offering backers $47 for every other registered voter they get to sign the petition in battleground states.
CAH is also suing Musk for $15 million for allegedly destroying the company's land in Texas. CAH has supported Democrats in past election cycles. In 2018, they created an expansion pack for the mid-term elections to boost Democrats.
“Cards Against Humanity really helped Hillary Clinton last time around. We have the support of tens of millions of Americans who want to restore a prosperous economy and secure border. Kamala has the backing of irrelevant card games," Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign's press secretary, said in a statement to The Hill.
