X owner and world’s richest man Elon Musk is defying an unusual threatening letter from the Department of Justice, which warned his America PAC that its giveaway may violate federal law. Musk is giving away a million dollars a day to registered voters in battleground states who sign his petition to support the First and Second Amendments. Those who refer other voters in the battleground states of Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina to sign receive $47 per signature, and $100 in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
According to 24sightNews, which broke the news about the letter, the DOJ told Musk’s Super PAC that offering anything of value to influence voting was in violation of 52 U.S.C. 10307(c). That law makes it a federal crime to pay someone to register to vote or to vote, punishable by a fine of $10,000, five years in prison, or both. Musk continued to issue the $1 million checks after receiving the letter.

One of the largest takeaways from Trump’s unexpected success in 2016 – and the inability of pollsters to accurately predict the support he earned in both 2016 and 2020 – is that Trump has continuously appealed to Americans who are less politically engaged.
Adding to the issue, is that Americans with lower political engagement are also generally harder to recruit into political surveys to share their opinions. We see this theme repeatedly, with low propensity voters, especially first-time voters, being much more likely to support Trump than highly active voters. At the same time, lower frequency voters are much harder to reach in polls before election day.

Progressive activists are warning conservative election attorneys to avoid getting involved in litigation over the 2024 election or they will have their jobs threatened, will be targeted for disbarment, and even prosecuted. Many attorneys who assisted with litigation over the disputed 2020 presidential election, such as Donald Trump’s former attorney and constitutional legal scholar John Eastman, underwent disciplinary proceedings and prosecution.
The New York Times published an op-ed a few days ago by law professor Kate Shaw warning attorneys not to represent Trump in election litigation. She said, “Lawyers cannot, consistent with their ethical obligations, participate in devising litigation that is retrofitted to support the position Mr. Trump seems to hold — that the only ‘real’ Americans are those who cast their ballots for him and that those who vote against him are by definition engaging in fraud.”
