Hugo Lowell: “Elon Musk says on stage at a town hall that 'America PAC' will be awarding $1 million every day until the election
to a registered Pennsylvania voter who has signed his petition.💥Though maybe some of the other things Musk was doing were of murky legality,
🔥this one is clearly illegal.Musk awarded the first $1 million this evening to someone at the town hall,
bringing the guy onto the stage and handing him a jumbo check, lotto-style.Musk is essentially incentivizing likely Trump voters in PA to register to vote:
Petition is to support for 1A and 2A, so basically R voters.But they also have to be registered to vote, so if they weren’t already, they would do it now.”
❇️See 52 U.S.C. 10307(c):
“Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, 👉or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting 👈shall be fined not more than $10,000
🧨or imprisoned not more than five years, or both…” -
