Cards Against Humanity launches election-themed game, $100 incentives to encourage voting

Has the election season got you down? Are you looking for any bright spot of humor?

Cards Against Humanity may have the solution.

Known as “the party game for horrible people,” Cards Against Humanity is an adult fill-in-the-blank game “that turns your awkward personality and lackluster social skills into hours of fun!” It dates back to 2010.

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:11095963150525286,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-2426-4417″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);

The creators have created an election version of the game that will appeal primarily to voters in swing states who “lean blue.”

It’s under a new political action committee formed by the company, which is paying anyone who didn’t vote in 2020 $100 to apologize for not voting and devise a voting plan for the general election.

“Four years ago, half of you didn’t vote. We don’t care what your excuse was—My vote doesn’t matter! Both sides are the same! — it all sounds like WAAAHHHHH! to us,” the website says.

“It’s time to face reality, get off your a**, and cast your [expletive deleted] ballot this year. If you didn’t vote in 2020, Cards Against Humanity will PAY you to apologize, make a voting plan, and publicly post ‘Donald Trump is a human toilet’—up to $100 if you live in a swing state and lean blue.”

For voters who did cast a ballot in 2020, they can support the cause by getting the 2024 Election Pack for $7.99. All the profits will go to directly pay blue-leaning non-voters to give a, well, you can guess.

As of 3 p.m., Thursday, 1,767 non-voters have agreed to apologize for not voting in 2020.

Cards Against Humanity “is exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters to (1) apologize for not voting last time, (2) walk us through a step-by-step plan of how they’d vote this time, and (3) post ‘Donald Trump is a human toilet’ on social media. This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!,” the website says.

Cards Against Humanity also addressed some of the questions surrounding non-voting, such as, “How did you know I didn’t vote?”

The answer? “We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found online. Pretty [messed] up.”

The effort is a response to Elon Musk’s petition to get “1 million registered voters in swing states to sign in support of the Constitution, especially freedom of speech and the right to bear arms,” according to the America PAC website. Each signatory would get $47.00 in exchange for data such as name, email address, cellphone number, and mailing address. The petition is only for voters in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, and that’s also the states where Cards Against Humanity will pay for apologies.

The $47 Musk payment is likely a reference to the next president, number 47. Musk supports Donald Trump.
