Original Note:
While WI statute 12.11 does state that it is illegal to offer anything of value to a voter to encourage them to vote, the payment in this case is, instead, being made to an organizer to encourage others to vote, in a legal process known as canvassing, or get-out-the-vote. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/12/11 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvassing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_out_the_vote
