That’s illegal in most places. Votes are anonymous specifically on purpose. Numerous people have been threatened to vote certain ways in the past all over the world. If there is no record of you specifically voting a specific choice, you can’t be forced to vote a specific way. And you can’t be targeted after the fact for that vote.
You can pay someone to vote a specific way, but with the current system, there doesn’t exist a way for you to verify that they actually voted how you told them to.
when votes are anonymous you can just not give a fuck about what they paid you to vote, you can take as many bribes as you want and vote for yourself regardless, thus people don’t really bother buying votes.
nobody can say that for sure… republicans still support him, people protest voted, kamala was unexciting… there are so many reasons that probably contributed
i’d guess his campaign probably got some people to vote when they otherwise wouldn’t have, but i’m not sure it would’ve changed anyone’s vote

Also because it’s an effective way to prove you voted a certain way to a vote buyer.
What’s stopping this now? Vote buying would happen regardless of a system.

Musk literally bought peoples votes…there are plenty of people who have no morals and absolutely would vote how they’re paid.
we can’t really know that… musk paid people to vote, but we and he have no idea if people actually voted how he wanted
i’d say selection bias (people willing to engage) played more of a part than actually telling people how to vote
The turnip won. It definitely helped
