SAVANAH HERNANDEZ REPORTS: Dem political group offers $1,000 to Latinos to publicly support Kamala 

Voto Latino, an organization that works to register “Latinx voters”, is trying to pay “Latino swing voters” who previously voted for Donald Trump up to $1,000 for them to publicly come out in support of Kamala Harris as part of a social media campaign from the organization.

The organization put out an ad on Craigslist looking for former Latino Trump supporters who are now going to be voting for Kamala Harris. These voters are being offered $100 for an initial interview and up to $1,000 to join their social media campaign and publicly endorse Harris.

The posting which was made at the beginning of July read, “seeking to connect with Hispanic and Latino folks who voted for Trump in 2020 and in 2024 will vote for BIDEN (or whoever replaces him)”.

The ad, which leads to a Google form, states that “Those selected for a first round recorded zoom interview will be paid $100. Additional compensation available for further inclusion in the campaign”.

This is the latest example of astroturfing by the Democrat party, in which influencers, and now voters, are being offered money to publicly support the current Democratic ticket.

Voto Latino, which boasts a following of 115k on X and 135k on Instagram, has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for President calling her a “a longtime friend of Voto Latino”. They then go on to state that they are planning on committing “$44 million to the largest Latino-focused registration and turnout campaign in US history”. Their website states that they’ve registered over 1.1 million voters since 2012.

Back in 2022, Voto Latino also worked against “proof of citizenship” laws in Arizona that would have required voters to prove that they’re legal citizens in order to vote. They also halted “Clean Elections USA” from engaging in certain drop box monitoring activities and worked to issue restraining orders against Americans who tried to surveil drop boxes during the 2022 Arizona midterms.

They also invested $1 million to stop the recall effort against Governor Gavin Newsom back in 2021, sharing that they mobilized “600,000 young Latinx voters in the state”, helping to stop the recall.
