Hm. Not that this is a bad idea, but I’m really surprised by this, as it’s kinda illegal.

Except they were careful and never actually said "we will give you money to vote for Harris/against Trump". Paying you to call him a human toilet isn't against that law.

But the law also includes this language:

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote… or to vote for…

I take that to mean to pay someone to vote, or to vote for someone. And in this case, CAH is definitely paying people to vote.

They're paying people to apologize for not voting last time. What that means is up for the reader. Not the same.
