    giving $20 gift cards in return for a $1 donation didn’t pay off?

    That seems…vaguely illegal? I can’t say how, though. But it seems wrong to be able to pay people to donate to a political campaign. Like it’s trying to get around campaign finance laws.

      Spending $19 to get $1 doesn’t immediately seem to make sense, but one of the debate threshholds was to have a specific number of unique donations.
