He gave money to a charity that exists to pay off the disenfranchising debts of freed felons. There's no requirement that they promise to vote a certain way and if there were it would be, while illegal, completely unenforceable anyway. That ain't vote buying.
Vote buying is me going door to door saying I'll give you $100 if you promise to vote for a candidate and another $1000 if you text me a selfie with your ballot voting the way I want.
