    It is legal because of the bullshit Citizens United ruling.

      The complaint is about misleading voters that they are being registered, not donations to political campaigns or actions committees.

        Citizens United equated spending money with free speech, meaning regulations and laws about campaigns don’t really apply. Without Citizens United, the PAC doing this wouldn’t exist and anyone doing this thing would be subject to the campaign laws that Citizens United and the follow up decisions neutered.
