Cards Against Humanity offers to pay nonvoters to go to the polls

Cards Against Humanity, the company behind the purposefully in-poor-taste party game, is offering to pay certain voters up to $100 to cast a ballot in November.

Based in Chicago, Cards Against Humanity publishes an adult card game by the same name that has players fill in the blanks in a sentence with a word or phrase from their hand of cards. Marketed as a "party game for horrible people," the most shocking sentence wins the round.

The company unveiled an initiative on Tuesday to encourage people who did not vote in 2020 to do so this year. A website created by Cards Against Humanity asks for personal information, which is then checked against voter data. "You wouldn't believe how easy it was for us to get this stuff," the company said of the information it said was purchased from a data broker.
