US Code Title 18 Section 597 reads as follows: Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597 So yes, it is 100% illegal, whether you are a government official or not. If it wasn't, billionaire donors wouldn't bother to toss their money at advertising or super PACs, they'd just pay off voters in swing states to influence the results. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
