Its money being (probably) illegally spent

I've seen two different clips of Trump walking into a grocery store for some stupid photo op, and then walking over to the register and handing a customer a $100 bill and saying "vote for me" - which may seem folksy to some, but is, in fact, illegal.  

Of course no one wants to hold him to account for BREAKING THE LAW again.  Because why would they?

Then there's the stories about Elon Musk being a big donor to his campaign.  And make no mistake the man who is close to being the worlds first trillionaire - that's just unconscionable when we have people working two jobs to meet ends meet, or living in their cars - will get there with ease if Trump wins.  He will get every single advantage to run amok and not have to worry about pesky rules holding him back.

The stories are that he has a sort of ground operation where his donations are being used to pay campaign workers to canvas.  That is you can make a quick buck by working for the Trump campaign by asking people to vote for Trump.

But the kicker *appears to be* that in at least some cases, these workers are offering cash (on the order of around $100) to voters who pledge to vote for Trump.  

Again, let me state that this is 100% illegal.  And for the moment, it remains unverified and unsubstantiated.  But there are people telling us they either got or gave the money, so there must be a little something to it.

But again, who's going to do anything about it?  If he wins, then they all get away with it and democracy is essentially dead.  And if he doesn't, will anyone follow up and prosecute him?  Probably not.  He is teflon man after all.

This is what "we the people" who see the shadowy things he is doing and overt things he surely will do if he gets back into office can thwart by simply voting Kamala.
