We're trying to pay tens of thousands of swing-state non-voters… enough to actually swing the election.

I think their intentions here is what is most damning.

Disagree, people spend money with the intention of influencing the outcome of elections all the time, that's all campaign ads and canvasses and phone banks and etc. are

And they're not paying people to vote - they're paying people to make a plan to vote (and make an apology and send a tweet, but I think those are irrelevant), which is something that campaign volunteers talk about with potential voters all the time
