I really don't see what the problem is supposed to be here. Nobody offered anybody any money to vote. Nobody is claiming that they did. It appears that the Dems are scared to admit that they offered money to people to recruit OTHER people to vote, but I'm not sure why. That's pretty much the only thing armies of Republican and Democratic campaign staff get paid to do.
