It’s not in the site’s financial interest to stop bots. In fact it’s exactly the opposite.

I am shocked to learn Brian urlacher is both a racist piece of shit and a “Moran”
Dear Brian,
Please shoot yourself in the chest, not the head, so you may have a shot at a tiny amount of empathy.

Liking this because of who posted not because of content. Sup bro?
NBA players reach an agreement. The most concrete point is using arenas as safe voting locations.

I mean it seems like a pretty big deal to me. Along with the guaranteed civic action advertisements and social justice programs.
If Trump refuses to step down, is there potential power to be had in sports teams striking until he does? Seems like a fairly immediate method for attacking the pockets of the rich.

IT’S A EUROPEAN CARRYALL
Yeah, the payoff was a big nothing burger. Don’t let that be a distraction.
What happened was this: the NBA players pulled off a wildcat strike. Other pro athletes wildcatted in solidarity. The various owners didn’t respond as they could: by suing the unions and then asking to bankrupt them while jailing the union’s officers. Instead the various owners rolled their bellies up. The NBA owners even offered up an (yes, nothing burger) appeasement.
Remember: this is the second time some NBA players have successfully used a wildcat strike during the playoffs. History writes that a rookie commish saved the day by booting the odious slumlord Sterlings out of the NBA back in 2014. The fact is players not taking the court forced the NBA owner’s hands.
If they can do it in 2014 and 2020 they can do it anytime. If they can do it for those reasons, they can do it for other reasons. The real power is always that implied credible threat.

I assume most financially well off people would get their families out of dodge until resolved regardless.
Edit: I mean the sane ones
NBA players as poll workers at these polling locations would make turnout astronomical.

They should have a team member at an exit for every game, signing autographs and yelling at people to VOTE.

Going further back in time to 1964, players threatened to strike on the day of the first televised All Star Game.
Concessions won included:
"The league recognized the union… The first-ever pension plan for NBA players was created. Every team was required to hire an athletic trainer. Sunday afternoon games could no longer be scheduled directly after Saturday night matchups. "

There are NBA arenas in several swing states as an FYI. This is a good thing considering many of these places like to have 3 poll workers per 1,000 voters to suppress the vote and discourage participation. This will encourage it.
