Cards Against Humanity to pay "blue leaning" nonvoters $100 to vote

They bought everyone’s voting records and are paying people to vote for a particular candidate, and it ain’t just legal, it’s also tax-exempt.

I can imagine that rewarding people for the act of voting is probably not entirely illegal, as plenty of businesses will give you a free coffee or whatever if you present your “I voted” sticker.
But is it really legal to explicitly pay people to vote for a particular candidate? How does that get around Federal law?

Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both: Provided, however , That this provision shall be applicable only to general, special, or primary elections held solely or in part for the purpose of selecting or electing any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the United States Senate, Member of the United States House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, Guam, or the Virgin Islands, or Resident Commissioner of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

(I got the impression that the Cards Against Humanity folks aren’t requiring anyone to prove that they voted for a specific candidate)

Edit to add: based on the FAQ section they’re apparently not paying people to vote. Just to post an apology and make a voting plan. So they could do that, not actually vote, and still get paid, I guess?
