Elon Musk’s super PAC awarded two $1 million prizes to registered voters in Michigan and Wisconsin on Thursday, after being warned by the Justice Department that the payments might be illegal.
Federal law makes it a crime for anyone who “pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting.”
Musk’s little lottery is shitting on the spirit of that law at best and is in violation of it at worst. AFAIK, that’s why the DOJ issued a warning rather than something legally stronger.
