James Talarico Super PAC Caught Paying $25 Per Vote -- and Admitting Doing It on Hidden Camera Video

Texas Democrats have come up with a scheme to pay voters to cast ballots for their candidates, a video obtained exclusively by Townhall Media shows.
Sky McAdams, organizing manager for Texas Majority PAC, was caught on video dishing on the scheme they hope will propel Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico to victory in November.
"We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things," McAdams says in the undercover video. "So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially."

It's very much like that, as a matter of fact.

In the video, McAdams says it's called a "paid relational program," which is operated by Relentless that uses software called Rally.
The theory is voters will be persuaded more by friends and family than a stranger showing up at their door.
"You can't pay someone to vote for someone," McAdams says in the video. "You can't be like, 'Here's $25, go vote for me.' You can say, 'Attend a one-hour class and you can receive $25.' And then the class just talks about the importance of... It's a little gray," he continues, apparently referring to the legality of the activity.
"If I was a Republican, I would be pissed. I would be like, that's shady as f**k."

Correct. It is shady as f***, and I am in fact pissed.

74 Talerico is leading on 17 of the last 18 polls. If he can’t win, then no Democrat can.

Talarico is honestly not that great of a candidate. His policy positions are lukewarm at best. He's very fortunate to be up against the worst candidate maybe ever.

We gotta pretend talerico is basically the second coming until the race is over then we can shit down his throat. He may not be Mamdani, but he'll be a great first step into turning Texas blue.

My mom has kool aid drinking Christian women in her social circle who say they aren’t voting for Talarico because he’s not a “real” Christian. He doesn’t believe in the “right” kind of Christianity.

After Beto, I refuse to believe this bullshit

If we didn’t have so many conservatives moving en masse to Texas we would have had a Senator O’Rourke

Media says this every election and texas will go red +5 points

Beto was behind in the polls and slightly overperformed. Paxton being behind is a terrible sign for him in a D wave year.

Waves crash unevenly.

In blue waves, red areas barely move, but blue areas go hard blue. The inverse in red waves.

This can create an effect where on the cusp districts and states get swamped in the tide of the wave, which creates the big swings in seat changes.

However, Texas is nowhere close to that swing area. It's solidly Republican. Texas is further to the right than NY is to the left.

Good news: it's a huge fucking waste of money. This is basically the same as any other online focus group - except it pays much less than most of them.

People do these for one reason... to make a little money without leaving their couches. If it requires 1 nanosecond of time or 1 eV of energy more than the Zoom meeting, 99% of these people will not do it.

I expect what's actually going on is 9 people attend these things, the consultant/cousin of the candidate claims it was 90,000, and they pocket the money.

Some prominent American statesman said the jooo state was increasingly isolated, and should be careful with us, their best friends (i.e. endanger their very existence to humor some idiotic American policy move or idea). Can't recall who. Meanwhile the Israelis can hardly keep up with the flow of diplomatic upgrades, strategic alliances, and weapons exports/co-production deals the world is deluging them with.

In the closest we've had to a wave election recently, 2018, unpopular, bad candidate because he said the wrong thing at the 2016 convention and pissed off all conservatives while he had no friends in the establishment Ted Cruz won by 3 against dreamy, sort of like JFK Beto.

If this was to be a wave election on that scale, I'd still expect Paxton to win. But by more. Like 5 points.

Otherwise, it is just an "incentivized" voter education program. Hell, they could probably get a federal grant if they claim it is non-partisan (I think that is how most of the schools and universities work)

But the zoom class could require feedback (ratings, selecting further topics, rating outrage,....) and that would tell them what voters in TX get emotional about.

Most of our world is now a giant A/B test, by the way. They test what stories get retweeted, and then push more of that. We are ruled by algorithms. (Well not here, here we are ruled by hamster poop that falls off the wheels and somehow gets posted in the comments.)

3) Just because I said something 2 minutes ago doesn't mean you can claim that I said it.

Posted by: Max Power at September 18, 2026 01:53 PM (SwyyQ)

I’m probably slow because I’m not following. Talarico is transparently a heretic using his own words. That means he’s not a real Christian. Why is it bad to say something that is undoubtedly true?

>>I’m convinced the movie and video game budgets are funneled to the DNC cheat machine. $305 million for a garbage Wolverine game??

The game has been in development for over 5 years, the company is based in California, so they pay the Cali tax, they have to pay for IP rights, salaries for hundreds of empoyees the development and then retaining a substantial workforce for post release fixes, updates and support.

Having said that, most triple A games suck and more enjoyment is to be had playing a 50 year old game like Pacman than anything currently being released by the big game studios.

There is a reason Minecraft, which is nearly 20 years old is still one of the most played games out there, and it was developed by one guy.

Posted by: Cicero

Nope.

Best scene in Scorcese's "Gangs of New York" was Democrat "organizers" crowding around the gangways bringing 19th century immigrants into New York, and bribing them to become Democrats just as their feet first touched American soil. This scene was based on documented historical records.

The Democratic Party has been the party of cheating since the day it was formed.

The left purges people from their memory when they aren't convenient.

Though the more frustrating one is when you get someone discussing the evils of the "Epstein Class" that then argues Harvey Milk was a good guy. He was literally a pedo-politician before Epstein got promoted from substitute teacher...

He pulls from the Gospel of Thomas to justify transgenderism.

But we can't judge him just because he pulls from heretical texts in order to counter consensus views on human sexuality. That would be unChristian.

Righties get the wrong idea about the left when it comes to democracy and representative government.

It is NOT that they believe in either and just maybe feel the pressure to cheat.

They see politics as a way to get power. Who cares if you get that power by convincing enough LIVs to vote for you or just manufacturing those votes. Either way you get the power.

And once you get the power you get the money

Then one you get the money you get the boys...

207 I tend to believe that you can tell where the Dems are going to focus their cheat by looking at the polling. It's more obvious in election races where you assume the Demcrat is going to get crushed. If it is close in the polls or even giving a lead to the candidate that by all reasonable means doesn't have a chance...then THAT is where most of the concentrated cheating will occur.

Talarico is one such race.

I used to think that I was being farcical holding this opinion until I saw how easy it was to fake polls. J. Ann Selzer of Selzer & Co, you will recall, put Harris over Trump by 4 points in Iowa...Trump won by 13 points. It's to give outlandish results legitimacy.

This sort of polling is about fundraising, not attempts to win.

Get Democrat donors excited about the idea of turning Texas or Kansas or Ohio or Alaska or Idaho blue, roll in hundreds of millions of dollars for months, and then, "Whoopsie! The electorate shifted in October. They all lost, and we also lost MI. Whoopsie!"
