Elon Musk Accused of Illegal Vote Buying with $1 Million Lottery for PA Registered Voters
Oct 20, 2024, 01:27 PM
Elon Musk has been accused of engaging in illegal vote buying by offering a $1 million per day lottery prize exclusively to registered voters. Legal experts, including UCLA law professor Rick Hasen and Campaign Legal Center Executive Director Adav Noti, have stated that Musk's actions violate federal laws prohibiting vote buying. The terms of Musk's giveaway require recipients to be registered voters or to register if they haven't already, which experts argue is a clear violation of 52 USC 10307(c). The controversy has sparked significant debate, particularly as voter registration deadlines approach in states like Pennsylvania. Top Election Attorney and other experts have labeled Musk's lotto-style giveaway as illegal, specifically targeting PA voters.
