    You’re making a legal claim, and that claim that should be examined closely in court to establish its veracity. For example, I disagree with your analysis. I think that everyone understands what’s actually being offered: money for a vote. I think that a jury could convict, and that there is probable cause to arrest and charge right now.

    And the reasoning is quite simple, right? You want to give money for the vote but you know that would be illegal so instead you say something that’s almost the same as the vote and then wink a few times. Everyone has communicated clearly. Everyone knows exactly what they’re supposed to do, and why. Just because you wrote down some words cleverly on paper doesn’t change the causes or effects.

    But that’s my opinion, and I’m not a judge in that state. Neither are you. Neither are any of us here in the comment section. That’s why it ought to go before a judge in that state.

      Well you can read it here, the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s four liberal and three conservative justices unanimously declined to hear the case, without elaborating further.
