    TL;DR: Trump is proposing to bribe voters (buy votes), but in October of 2012 he tweeted:

    "Don't let Obama buy the election by handing out unlimited free money to states."

    [Also note 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting:

    "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

    Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

    Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

  15. How Immigration Became the West’s Favorite Election Tool

    In 2025, Canada drastically cut Indian student visa approvals, reflecting a trend where immigration is manipulated for political gain amid economic pressures. As housing costs soared, governments framed immigration as both a scapegoat and a tool for securing votes. This strategy transformed compassion into a transactional issue, prioritizing control over genuine opportunity and empathy.

  19. Russia’s disinformation toolbox in Moldova: Bot networks, Moscow church propaganda and vote-buying.

    Russia intensified its “hybrid war” against Moldova as the country is heading to the parliamentary elections on Sunday, Moldovan authorities say.

    What tools is Moscow using in Moldova this time, and are they different from the disinformation campaign during the 2024 presidential election?
