Daily Links Excerpt (of the Day)

Frederick Boehmke, a UI associate professor of political science, said he doesn't believe there's anything illegal about using charitable donations as an incentive to vote.

"It is certainly unusual," he said. "Certainly it's illegal to pay someone to register to vote, but here the payment isn't to the individual. The donation could be viewed as charitable. A different way to look at it is that it is legal to pay someone to go out and register people."
