How much of the "ground game" is just paying people to vote?

We all know the street money is given to the "organizers" but how much goes to the voter to get them off their rear end and go vote?

None. GOTV is all about knocking on doors and making phone calls to people who the campaign has identified as likely voters for your candidate. The whole idea is to have that person-to-person contact with someone representing the campaign to give them that extra psychological incentive to actually get out and vote.
If you only turn out an extra 2-3% of those who support your candidate, that can be enough to win a swing state.

OP didn't limit this to non-Democrat efforts.

To me Ground Game translate roughly to voter fraud, but I am jaded.

Lots of dough goes to the Pastor, he tells the flock Hillionaire will save them, they need to vote!
Souls to Polls baby, then after that they want a large separation of church and state, well until four years later that is.

No 19 year old intern is going to convince someone to vote.
No, GOTV is bus rides and free chicken dinners.

Democrat "ground game" consists of getting people 6 feet under to vote.

They bus them in gubment buses, give them box lunches, etc.
How many times they vote we'll never know.

I don't like you but it's true. They knocked on my door in VA weekly. Weekly I chased them off.

Democrats love shaming and pressuring people into voting Democrat.
It's an "all for the cause" mindset that anyone who wants to defeat them has to adopt.

And then buying them a Popeyes two-piece or a Big Mac to get them on the bus.
You left that part out.

That Phone in their pocket is motivation enough. Straight link to a vote day text message to 'get your arse out there and vote Dem...or lose your phone/subsidies!
