[The Velveteen Ocelot]

The statute says:

A person who willfully, directly or indirectly, advances, pays, gives, promises, or lends any money, food, liquor, clothing, entertainment, or other thing of monetary value, or who offers, promises, or endeavors to obtain any money, position, appointment, employment, or other valuable consideration, to or for a person, in order to induce a voter to refrain from voting, or to vote in a particular way, at an election, is guilty of a felony.

In other words, it says it's a felony if you promise to vote or not vote a certain way in exchange for money TO a person (not just for yourself). If you want to chance it, fine; but a felony is serious shit. I'd get an opinion from a lawyer who knows election law, if I were you. I wouldn't touch this.
