Republicans don't win elections, they have to steal them

Opponents of California Ballot Initiative Seek Inquiry
The chairman of a committee formed to fight a ballot initiative to change how California's electoral college votes are apportioned has asked the city attorney here to investigate a report that a group collecting signatures for the initiative has offered food to homeless people in exchange for signing the petitions.
The Republican-supported initiative would replace California's winner-take-all system of allocating its 55 electoral college votes with one that allots the votes by Congressional district.
(snip)
Mr. Steyer's letter, dated Nov. 19, stems from an article in The Los Angeles Downtown News that detailed reporters' observations of signature gatherers asking homeless people on the city's notorious Skid Row for their signatures to help qualify the electoral vote initiative and three others, as well as asking them to fill out voter registration cards.
In exchange, the paper reported, homeless people and those in nearby shelters were given Snickers bars, instant noodles and other snack foods.

How is this any different from going to a playground and saying "hey little boy want some candy"?
