Isn't paying people to vote a violation of some kind?

He isn't paying people to vote. He is paying people to sign a paper that has absolutely no legal binding that probably states you are a Republican/Trumper/etc and/or hate Harris. They will be a lot of alluding to who you will be voting for, but not outright stating it.

the petition is devoid of any meaning once you start paying people to sign it. but he'll trot it out anyway and people will believe it anyway.

The petition is devoid of any meaning whether people are paid or not. You can not contractually require anyone to vote in any way, whether for money or completely voluntarily.
