Dude invented paying for votes. Amusing but that's gotta be illegal everywhere
"Paying someone to get me elected" is just a political campaign hiring a campaign manager and staff. I don't think that counts as bribery, but it is paying them in monopoly money, aka shares in a long bet that will never pay out.
Yes, this creates an incentive for them to vote for you, but those 20 votes aren't going to win you the election. A similar incentive exists if you are hired by any political campaign; if they win you maybe get a job in their staff.
They're not paying for 20 votes, they're "paying" 20 people to work for them.
