Townhall Media caught Sky McAdams, an organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, admitting to a scheme involving paying people to influence others to vote for Democrats.
You know they desperately want Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talerico to win.
You can’t pay someone to vote for a candidate, but apparently the PAC discovered a way around the rule.
MCADAMS: We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things. So it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially, which is interesting.
PERSON RECORDING THE VIDEO: What’s the – what’s this called?
MCADAMS: It’s called the Paid Relational Program. I think rally Texas is the official name. You can’t pay someone to vote for someone. You can’t be like, “Here’s $25, go vote for me.” You can say, “Attend a one-hour class and you can receive $25.” And then the class just talks about the importance of…it’s a little gray.
PERSON RECORDING THE VIDEO: But right now we could use all the help we can get.
MCADAMS: If I was a Republican, I would be pissed. I would be like, “That’s shady as f**k.”
Relentless’s website admits that it recruits “low-propensity voters and compensates them for their time as they reach, persuade, and mobilize their friends and family to vote.”
Why take this approach?
Because the “voters trust their friends and family more than any institution.”
We know that Hollywood and so-called influencers hold no weight with voters. No one cares that Kim Kardashian endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Shoot, even Taylor Swift couldn’t convince enough people to vote for Kamala Harris.
“They want to support the issues and candidates they care about and directly affect them, but they want to do so with the people who know them best,” according to the website. “Relational organizing ensures that the most effective messengers — members of their own community — are at the center of political and social movements.”
The Democrats are desperate. This scheme should not surprise anyone.
It also should not surprise anyone when absolutely nothing happens to Texas Majority PAC or Relentless.
